G'day Ben, Thanks for the suggestions.
Just on the way out the door, (to a client, not out of life :-) ) having failed miserably at this project. Will address those when I get back. Another brick wall on the saving of the row is that when I try to do so even though I have a valid ProdServID to commence with and no NOT NULL on the column, I get a foreign key violation msg on trying to save the TranDetail row. Just not my day. Was it Albert or Bernie, "Some days your the dog, some days the hydrant." Just having a hydrant day.
