    @R3dKap,

    FormMode is an integer and DisplayMode is Text. Hence the error message. Shane Young @Shanescows has an excellent you tube on form modes that explains this well.

    If this answers your question, please mark it solved.

    Ok @Drrickryp, so I guess that means I have to switch on the FormMode using the integer values... Smiley Indifferent
