I put those steps in the cmdatamanager of my original form and NO I did not get that far. Remember my original form calls a child which calls another child. Is that acceptable? TIA.


>SET STEP ON in AfterNew testing for the cWorkArea == "New Job Detail" (replace "New Job Detail" with the correct cursorname in VFP Proper case).
