One can use the "parent" hierarchy at any time but the only time one must use it (Who's my daddy? :-) ) is in event handlers for queries on forms and their associated rowset and field objects as well as for timer object event handlers.  The event handlers for any other objects properly constructed on a form understand "form". Aghostino, while Gaetano has shown you the OODML code to place a value in a field in the table this will only work if entryfield3's onChange event handler is executed. Entryfield3's onChange event will only be triggered if the user (not the program) changes the entryfield3.value property and then moves focus to a different object.  If the user doesn't actually trigger the event you will need to include code to do this. Where you place this depends on the rest of you code so I can't make a suggestion here.     form.entryfield3.onChange() or     :class:entryfield3.onChange() Mervyn.
