Re: DEVELOPER 2000 QUERY-mode???

If this item is just a display item, set the ITEM TYPE property to DISPLAY ITEM and the DATABASE ITEM property to NO. Then, create a block level WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE trigger on your primary data block (m1 in your example) and populate the display item as per below:

:m2.one_text_item := 'This is a test.';

This value will survive ENTER QUERY, EXECUTE QUERY, and CLEAR ALL! If you need to, you can change the value elsewhere in the form with a similar line in the appropriate trigger.
