In order to make the href of the element have a value from your xml file,
write

when the datafld property is used on the element, it fills the href attribute with its data.

I solved this issue to reasonable satisfaction by putting the cursor-changing code in the onmousedown event which occurs before the onclick event. Then, at the end of the sorting function called by the onclick event, I change the cursor back to normal.

Thanks! I guess I can create a while loop that loops as long as the returnValue of the modal dialog window is empty. That will be pretty annoying for the user – I’ll have to think about it.

What I really want to know is: Does FP 2003 have decent Intellisense for ASP coding? Also, I saw that MS has a trial version of the software. Why don’t they let you download it instead of only offering the CD kit which comes with an S&H fee?

Thanks Mark. I do have a book and I’ve looked at Microsoft’s online help. So far, what I’ve seen is a lot about the datagrid, datalist, and repeater controls but not too much on how to interact with data using the regular textbox, textarea, radio buttons etc. controls. I would have thought that the need to have interactive controls on a form (similar to what one has in an Access project or a VB application that connects to a database) would be a very common one. I took a look at the link you included (thans ) and see that a solution to this problem is suggested. I understand, from the article, why it’s difficult to do the type of data binding that I expected, but I have to admit, I”m disappointed.

I haven’t looked at anything yet, Charlotte. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely have a look at it!

Thanks Charlotte – that’s actually what I meant when I said “last execution” – the last of the series that occurs when the form loads up until the point that it’s visible to the user. It sounds like the me.visible check is the way for me to go, then!

Charlotte, I’m sorry for being thick but let me check if I understood. The form_current event fires multiple times while the form is loading. If I put a condition before my code that checks to see if the form is visible, the code will only execute during the last execution of the form_current event?

Thanks for your response, Wendell. Unfortunately, phasing out the Form_Current event on this form is difficult to do. However, I just did something that seemed to help. In my Form_Open procedure I was setting a filter on the form’s recordset based on a variable that was set when the user logged in. I noticed that the consecutive executions of Form_current were being called when the filter property was changed in Form_Open. I wrote a function to retrieve the value of the variable and created a query which filtered the table by calling the function i.e. the criteria on the ID field is: ALIKE GetLocation & “%”. I removed the code in the Form_Open procedure that set the filter and now it seems to only execute Form_Current once!
