If memory serves me, I started writing this app when Rbase 6.5 came out. At the time, I played with Enter Using and Edit using and for some reason, Enter Using worked better, but I don't remember why. EDIT USING seems to make more sense, and it avoids the extra keystroke at the end where I have to click SAVE CHANGES? YES NO CANCEL. As far as other tables in the form, I do have EEPs which have an ENTER USING formname, but the primary table is just a bunch of buttons and some variables for display purposes only. I will try your idea asap. Any idea why the form would fail to display data for the Variable Edit Control when I use ENTER USING in version 9.5? I made no changes at all to the form...in fact all I did was fire up 9.5 and ran the exact same code. Mike

Unless you have a second table in the form that you wish to use in ENTER mode, there is no reason for the dummy table. Copy the form to another formname and select no table reference to create a new variable form, then delete your original and rename the copy to the original. When that is completed, you will be precluded from using this form in the ENTER USING mode. Problem solved. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.

Way to go dream team! I have a form based on a dummy table.The table has 1 row, 1 column and only 1 row of data. At the top of the form I have a few Variable Edits. In version 9.1 the form works just fine with both EDIT USING formname and ENTER USING formname. In verosin 9.5, the form works just fine with EDIT USING formname. BUT....the variable edit controls are blank when I use ENTER USING formname. Since I am not relying on any changes to the dummy table in my application, does it matter which I use, ie EDIT USING vs ENTER USING? Is there any preference? Also, I don't understand why both EDIT USING and ENTER USING work just fine in version 9.1, but only EDIT USING is working for me in version 9.5. The rest of the form works fine both ways, only the Variable Edits are not working in 9.5. What am I doing wrong? Mike Sinclair
