Still not working. I can't get watches or the console windows to tell
me anything.  Please see the simple attached screen shot.  I'm sure
you can correct me.

Bingo, moveto is working thanks to ( ).  However I can not get an
update to actually update anything.  This would be MUCH easier to
troubleshoot if I had the watch window to see what I was doing wrong! 
:)

<CODESNIP>
  WITH Conn
    .Type = frmMain.strType
    .Host = frmMain.strHost
    .Login = frmMain.strLogin
    .Password = frmMain.strPassword
    .Name = frmMain.strDataBase
  END WITH
  Conn.Open
  Conn.Begin 'Is this and commit needed with MySQL?
  IF txtRecNumber.Text = "*" THEN
    rData = Conn.Create("customers")
  ELSE
    rData = Conn.Edit("customers")
  END IF
  rData.MoveTo(Val(txtRecNumber.Text))
  rData["name"] = textbox1.Text
  rData["contact"] = textbox2.Text 
  rData["address1"] = textbox3.Text
  rData["address2"] = textbox4.Text
  rData["city"] = textbox5.Text
  rData["state"] = textbox6.Text
  rData["zip"] = textbox7.Text                   
  rData["terms"] = textbox8.Text 
  rData.Update()
  Conn.Commit
  rData.Connection.Close
  Conn.Close
</CODESNIP>

Also note in my screen shot that my Watch window is 'docked' or stuck
to the project window.  That wasn't like that before. I must admit I
hate it being docked.  It makes me stretch my project window real wide
so I can read the watch messages.

Thanks again for any help.
