Ah, I remember this well. The displayonly columns allowing input are logically part of an additional table (displaytable) added to the end of your table list. In Perform, you can't use nextfield to move to a column that is not in the currently active table. The display field is not in the same table as the columns. Sorry, I don't have a solution for you (and I don't believe there is one. That's the way perform was *designed* to behave). I developed (and still support) a number of apps that used perform. I heavily (very heavily) hooked them with ESQL/C to make the tool at least semi-useful, but we took a different approach. -- ---------Scott Morizot---------------------tmorizot@infinity.ccsi.com--------
