G'day Karen, Thanks for the response. I have abandoned that methodology and deleted the form so I cannot test it, but I was also getting an inability to save the TranDetail row msg due to no matching value being in the ProdServID column (FKd to ProductsServices) even though there is no NOT NULL constraint on the FK and the ProdServID obtained via the barcode was valid.
All in all a frustrating attempt to do something that should have been dead easy and would have been far better from a code reuse\efficiency point of view - have a block of code called from an eep rather than 20 variables in each form needing to be altered if a methodology change dictates.
