Marc,

How are you trying to update the current row?  I'm assuming you're doing
this within a form?

If that's the case and if I'm understanding correctly, you could do a
couple of things.  You could use the PROPERTY componentid TEXTVALUE
.varname command.  In an on entry/exit eep on a field, or on entry into
the row. Make sure you assign a component id to the field(s) in
question. If it's a situation where you want the value of the column to
equal a variable no matter what, you can just create a variable with the
same name as the column.  

For example, in my quote system, the user may enter a customer number to
do a quote for an existing customer, but they may be doing a misc. quote
for someone new.  I have a variable vcustno = custno, and variables for
the customer name (vcustname), address (vaddress), etc.  In an on exit
eep from the customer number field, I have PROPERTY custnamefield
TEXTVALUE .vcustname, PROPERTY addressfield TEXTVALUE .vaddress.  If the
customer number is null, there is nothing put in those fields, and the
user can type whatever they want.  If I actually had a variable with the
same name as the field (like custname = custname in custlist whe custno
= custno), the field would ALWAYS equal the variable and the user
wouldn't be able to change it.

If I have completely misunderstood what you're trying to do - I'm having
one of those weeks - post back

Dawn

Sorry I hit send instead of Spell Check and I didn't finish the post.

 Hi
 
 I thought there was a way to update the current row without having to
list specific columns.

I want to be able to update the current row without using columns in the
where clause and I would like to be able to set a var = to a column on
the current row.

Thanks, sorry for the 1/2 post
Marc
