Thanks Helen !
I have now made a test... but it is rather complicated:

eg. For jj := 1 to myquery.fields.columncount do
if myquery.fields.column[jj].ismodified then
mymodifiedflag := true;

But what about an event, to test just after the user makes the entry?
Is there an event which will signal that a change has happened ?
myDataset.onModify ?? or something ?
regards
Dave
