Yes, but the variable you are receiving into MUST be defined as Text. If it is predefined as INTEGER, then R:Base will return a strange value, as you are experiencing. The edit control may be assigned to an Integer field, but the VARIABLE you receive into MUST NOT be defined as an integer value. -- Larry
