Mark is correct - I think you need to add a 'DB.Status' = null into your criteria - as on submit the db status won't contain a value.

Basically, i'm forcing user to keep away from using 'Closed' Status resolution and push them to use the 'Resolved' status upon closing a ticket. (('DB.Status' < "Resolved") OR ('DB.Status' = "Cancelled")) AND ('Status' = "Closed") Status Value Order: New=0 Assigned=1 In Progress=2 Pending=3 Resolved=4 Closed=5 Cancelled=6 _attend WWRUG11 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ </pre><font face="monospace"size="-3"><br>The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and <br>may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
