Mike:
Seems like the simple answer is EDIT USING since apparently you are
not changing or adding information to the driving table (a dummy
table), although, you did not describe the nature of the rest of the
form that works. If there is a second table associated with the form
that is being used, I think I would make it the driving table, since
variable edits can be used anywhere if they are pre-defined by some
means (using the form variable list or defined in code or an EEP). As
for why it does not work in 9.5 using ENTER USING, I suspect the
Dream Team has been tightening the code, since ENTER USING would be
inappropriate in this example (no proper driving table with matching
columns to add information to). You could test this theory by adding
a DBEDIT to the form associated with a column in the dummy table and
see what happens.
The one interesting comment from Larry in this thread is at what
point is there a problem with "overhead" when forms or reports
contain numerous look-up variables or stored procedures? And how
often is the variable list executed in forms/reports and when? Razzak?

Hello everybody,
I have been reading the what is new in 9.5 document and all I can
say is "amazing...." 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?
