Hi Dave,

What is the structure of the table that you scatter from?

Just wondering if there are any numeric or other fields in it and you

are trying to use one as a controlsource.

I do something similar on some forms but in the init I do

SCATTER NAME thisform.oData MEMO BLANK

then the real scatter is done elsewhere for a new record.
