I try to use code-based variables for everything except assignment of a column value in the current row to a variable (and, of course, that never happens in a variable form). In addition to the reasons mentioned by others, the variable list in a form is executed more often than you might expect. If there's anything in the list that's "expensive" (a lookup, a stored procedure call) it might well get called tens or hundreds of times while your form is being edited, even if only required to be updated once or twice. -- Larry
