What Ad wrote is probably what you want to do but in case there
is some reason you really need to use UPDOWN buttons then here's
my suggestion:

You need to have "RaceNumberEdit" already set as a textbox or
something before associating the updown with it. It can be an
invisible text box if you want but the associate property needs
a control.

If you've got that then the text of 'RaceNumberEdit' should
update whenever you click on the updown button. If it doesn't
then I don't know what the problem is.

Lastly you must set an event procedure for the change event of
RaceNumberEdit so that RaceEdit1 is updated with the race name
determined by the value in RaceNumberEdit. If it doesn't work
then download the latest bleeding edge version of VEL.

later,
Lewis Townsend
