Bob,

Is the extension field a regular field or a dBASE calculated field?

Bob:

    Why not set up an On_Change trigger that pushes the calculated amount into
the field.  You'd have to set up on for each entry that effects the results (or
have each point to the same function).

Bob replied:
John: I assume you are referring to code such as shown below.
  function EQUANTITY_onChange
      rs = form.InvoicesDataModule1.Lineitem1.rowset
      nQt = rs.fields["Quantity"].value 
      do case
      case nQT >1 and nLn >0 
           nPr := nPr*nLn         
           nEx := nQt*nPr
      case nQt >1
           nEx := nQt*nPr
   endCase
   // load rowset field w/mv
   rs.fields["Extension"].value := nEx
   rs.refreshControls()
      return
I have two similiar codeblocks with the same results, I must click on the form
face to cause the changed contents of 'extension' to be visable .  Am I leaving
something out?  Thanks for your reply.  Now for the Master's....Bob
