Thanks, JC. Gustav put me in the right direction and I'm sure that your classes will take me the rest of the way. I have one other very minor issue, which is this. Since no edits are permitted until the user clicks Update Data, then I need to place the focus somewhere. I have a tab control on the form, so I guess I could place it there. At the moment I have a very small textbox control where I place the focus(and exclude it from the loops). Is there a better way?
