No, I think the example you gave with updating the invoice total as items are added in the UI is fine there. In my form, I'd have a simple routine that calculated the total/sum and updated the textbox that reflected that total: thisform.CalcTotal() in thisform.CalcTotal method: select sum(paidamt) from (this.grdPayments.RecordSource) into array laSum this.txtTotalPaid.value = nvl(laSum(1),0) -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4f298e91.7020...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
