Dick, I use a much different approach. I create a form specifically for editing a row of data. I use a form with a variable list view that can can change the lookup on the fly. In the on-click-eep, I bring up the edit form. Another alternative is to use the right-click eep in the variable list view to edit. If I make the variable list view multi-select I can update more than one row at once.
Maybe that will help your thinking.

Tried using a view, and enclosing the var in () Jump in if you are doing this with success. Dick Fey Carpet Broker Inc. Can't decide if my brain is fried, or this just won't work. I want to edit a table using a DB Grid, in a form, using a variable to define the results shown Like; Set var vcode Text = 'SHAW' Edit using mfglist where mfg contains .vcode Then in the form, change the value of vcode, and do a property table refresh.. and get a new set of results. Does not work. Can it work ? What am I doing wrong?
