Subject Re: beginappend() Problem Fixed From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Sat, 1 Jul 2023 01:37:40 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Ken, Thanks. Yes, that's what I thought I was doing, but I was wrong. In my follow up message apparently about the same time you wrote this, I did a found that the way I created the form has different ways of getting the database reference into a form, that I wasn't really aware of. Since I made these forms some time ago, I had assumed the "form.rowset" would work, but that reference isn't assigned the way I created the form with a database and query object, as it's not assigned to the form.rowset property. I looked at the databuttons.cc and it seemed to be really more than I wanted to do, and of course, I thought when creating my custom buttons patterned after yours from the book, that it was going to be a simple code statement in the button as you show.  Had I created the form by dropping the table on it, I would have indeed had that form property assigned by that action, but I didn't. I dropped a database and query object on the form and then filled them in with the pertinent information and never realized that the rowset is never assigned to the "form.rowset" property.  :)  DOH!!
