That is a valid way to do it. I often use something along the lines of SaleDate = .#DATE when in a form.

I am trying to understand how and when columns get their values within a form.

If I put COLUMN_NAME = .varname in the Add Variable Expression builder, is that the exact same outcome as using a SAVEROW followed by an UPDATE tablename set column_name = .varname {where clause}?
