Hi Doug I believe if you remove the quotes from around your variable it will work for you.

RStyle says "(7) Not a valid command: GETPROPERTY" Gimme a break, I copied it from the RDocs clipboard! I double-checked the componentID - no hidden spaces, even the casing matches. I tried with and without quotes around 'vfTaxKey' The form is a one-table form with a bunch of DBEdits and a DBMemo. I've tried the EEP as an On-After-Start form EEP, On-Row-Entry table EEP, and as an On-Entry-Into EPP in the first field of the form. Code to call the form is: EDIT USING CustMaint + WHERE &vWhere ORDER BY TaxKey There is a DB Navigator control on the form and when I use the Next and Previous buttons, vfTaxKey evaluates properly as an On-Row-Entry table EEP after the first row. I also tried a PROPERTY TABLE CustList REFRESH per the "Update row in form" thread (getting desparate or what?) How do I get it the value of TaxKey in the very first row before user edits the form?
