Right and that is what I was speaking to - albeit, too briefly I suppose. By-default, with a writer document window the F4 key will open the data source window, docked, in the top of the document window frame. This is often referred to as the 'beamer'...a name for whatever reason I just always liked.. OK - if you have a form definition within an ODB file, when that window is open (this is just a special case of a writer document window) and you hit F4 the beamer is displayed - however, as this is now attached to a Base embedded form it behaves differently. The record set linked to from the CURRENTLY FOCUSED DATA CONTROL on the form is displayed in a grid view in the beamer. (important to remember the bit about the focused control, the forum can have multiple record sets open at a time) This is just another live view to the record set, if you can update this record set in the form you can do so in the beamer. If you use filters to limit the result set in the beamer it also limits the records in the form detail control. I assumed that was what you where talking about.
