Bernie: As I said, why don't you just define a variable that is equal to your column and do away with the GETPROPERTY command all together; I find that when I need to get the value of a variable, this approach works fine and it is easier to implement that GETPROPERTY as there is not need to run the command form an EEP, you always have the current value of the column for the record with focus.

A right click on the 1st field runs an eep that does the getproperty command, I should get the seq no. at this point, but apparently since nothing has yet been entered into this 1st row (except the orderno and the seq no.), I get a blank returned. Since I am in the row, shouldn't I get the seq no returned? Again, if I enter an item no. manually, then an exit from the field will get the seq no. -- but I need it in order to insert the item no. that was obtained from the list box. So????? what else can I do?
