I am trying to create a window to maintain records in an Access97 database.

Everything appears normal except that entering a key into the 'key' field on the form and pressing enter always causes the window to think that a is being created. I checked with the CS_SPY and the 'key' parameter is being passed and the correct SQL command is being created. "select …. from TRANS where TRANS_NUM=ID:'

The CS_SPY args parameter contains the value for the ID that I keyed in the window.

The MASTER view contains a single row of data with ONLY the TRANS_NUM field populated. The INSERT view contains the same row as the MASTER.

The SELECT view is empty.

I can execute the Query in the Query Window and it retrieves the row correctly. What am I missing??

Running OIWG 3.6, Access97.

John,

That means that it is not bringing back a row so it is inserting a blank one and setting the key.

Make sure the argument in the script appears as ":name", not "name:". Then copy the script into the query window and replace the ":name" with your value.

Cameron,

The misplaced colon was the problem.

Thanks,
