If the codeblock in the orderdate text object's text property is showing an error then that is where you should be looking. While spaces (and reserved words) are allowed in field names they can need special handling in some cases.  It is better to avoid spaces or reserved words in fieldname.  Rather use _ instead of a space. Please enter your name in the Name field when you post messages.  I can't begin to imagine what someone with the name 'error in case f ["pay type].value== CH' looks like. :-) Mervyn.
