Tips/hints anyone? > One of several ways: Create a system variable Username() (which you can populate on startup or when the first record is saved) and set the default of the field to "=Username()" In fact if I want to record usernames on data entry, I generally use this technique and hide the username field so that they can't alter it. -- Lexacorp Ltd http://www.lexacorp.com.pg Information Technology Consultancy, Software Development,System Support.
