yes that's what I meant when I say I'm lazy.
for example, in rb, if I have a lot of fields I normally just do
curs.field("fred").setstring(editfield1.text)
curs.field("counter").setstring(editfield2.text)
etc...

I wouldn't really have a massive speed increase if I wrote
curs.field("fred").setstring(editfield1.text)
curs.shortfield("counter").value=val(editfield2.text)
etc...

would I ??

all the best
Fred
