Hey, I like that! Have never used eval-corr; I guess I did not understand what it did. Thanks Jon.

A question, mostly to see if I understand what is happening:
Lets suppose the data record has 15 fields and the program is dealing with only 7 of them. When I do the compare-for-changes-at-another-workstation I care only about those 7; changes in the other 8 fields do not affect my changes. Therefore don't I want Dim(2) on DisplayRec, not CustRec?

Which leads to other questions. However, My first goal is to understand what you are showing us.

Boy you guys like to make it complicated!

Read this for a much simpler approach http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg030315-story01.html

The example there is for a single record update but the exact same method can be used when handling subfiles. The only time I would ever consider using hidden fields for this purpose in a subfile is if that “subfile” were a web page and I was using to hold state information.
