This is a nightmare for me, because : I will have users that swear they updated something, and the database will say : they are lying. : I would live to see how some of you guys handle such a situation. It would seem to me that it would be much easier to do the error checking in "after input" instead of on key (accept), and simply "continue input" if there's something wrong. (Of course, checking int_flag to see if they pressed interrupt instead of accept).
