Problems with Insert on Table from Form

Just to clarify..

You have a table
It has the field account no.
When you enter the account no. you want it to pull up the name.
you say it works when you enter the account no directly into the table but thru a form the name is not appearing.
You feel the Onvalidate trigger on the table isn't being triggered when you enter data using a form.
Is this what you're asking?

What code you you have Onvalidate of the account no on the table?

What code you you have Onvalidate of the account no on the Form?

a filter won't refresh another field. is your code similar to below? the form shouldn't be effecting the code unless something else is going on. Perhaps theis "filter" you're referring to is set on the first line only? Or perhaps you're not leaving the field to complete the validation. Do you have a currform.update command on your form?

OnValidate of account no (of your new table)
if customer.get("new table"."account no.") then
"new table".name := customer.name;
