Others have given wonderful explanation I am not going into those details. I a just describing what I do. When I require the same function in multiple forms I place it in the custom form on which all my forms are based. The other option is placing it in a procedure file. The third and least used way is set procedure to e_label.wfm e_labelform::save_item() This will execute the save_item() function saved in e_label.wfm And yes it does require modifications to address issues related to accessing data/memory variables. Warning : When I execute set procedure to e_label.wfm e_labelform::save_item() from e_purch2.wfm and e_labelform::save_item() there is a line form.add_item.value  = 45 then it will change the entryfield add_item of e_purch2.wfm and not e_label.wfm as 'form' will refer to current form. Hence this requires special care and planning. Regards Akshat
