But look at the properties of the Submit data script event so on the 'child form' you may be able to run a submit AND re-open same instance (maybe you can do this on the 'when form is opened' within a condition so it only does this the first time the child form is opened for a 'dummy' first stage you can set up) and so before the user actually gets to use the form it has already been submitted and then an instance number has also been created so you can use it mcroft66 on "Writing Back to Parent Form" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/writing-back-to-parent-form#post-1048 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:21:22 +0000 mcroft66 1048@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ I have an Equipment Request form that allows you to raise a Purchase Request form if the equipment is unavailable from stock. The Child Purchase Request form is opened via a child form button in a table in the Equipement Request form. It is in a table as each Equipment Request form could possibly have many pieces of equipment requested and therefore many PRs associated with it. I want to be able to write the Form ID Number, not instance ID, back into this table once the form PR form has been submitted to allow us a view of which piece of equipment has which PR. Problem I'm having is that the form ID is 0 at the stage I'm trying to retrieve it. Does anyone have an idea if this can be done? Thanks, Michael.
