I added a custom prop to store the name of the field being edited following a suggestion made on the Livecode forum. I added this line to the EditValue handler in the Row Behavior script : set the cFieldName of grp "DgNotes" to pKey -- store this for use in the custom field editor. Code in the custom field editor reads the value when it processes the key presses.
