Valbon, Yes, that's a good idea, but the calculations are based on a bunch of values stored on the Item record that are not displayed on the screen, so I'm a bit stuck retrieving the values.  I basically have a fixed dollar amount pricing at several different levels, per item, based on quantity.  So, I'm stuck using boolean ...

I've noticed a strange grid behavior as of late.  When I save a record (save button) and a grid with a select link refreshes, the grid formating changes.  The column with the select link expands and takes up the majority of the grid.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm typically using firefox as a browser.

Hi Paulette, A grid is just a visual representation of the data from the table and by default, the grids are read-only. I assume that you have customized the grid to allow for editing and new entries directly on the grid (steps 5 & 6 of grid properties) and that is why you are asking for a default value. Unlike using fields on the screen, ...

(Copied them from the CF call for the Customer table, and inserted just after it in the If/Then sequence.) ...
