Its painful to code but we used the AFCL tab mechanism so that the entire table is maintained in one supertable. Works very well for the user. I would love it if New Era provided a separation between graphical controls and database controls. That way one could pass a result set from one supertable and window to another. > > Thanks for your ideas and help! > -- > Candy McCall > On-Line Computing, Inc. > candym@olcinc.com -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- David Paulo, InForm Group Ltd.,PO Box 1444, Wellington, New Zealand.
