OIC....this sounds very similar to a layout that George Tasker was describing to me recently...you may want to email him....you can find his address by a search of the records or by clicking the mail icon
>I didn't clarify it that well I guess. They want to come into a form and enter a RMA #, which will bring up the appropriate info and they are then immediately in "edit mode", they press save and it blanks the form and waits for input of another RMA #. They said it is to much effort to hit an "edit" button. They want it designed after their existing DOS app from 1984 and don't want any changes in the keystrokes they are currently using. I couldn't talk them out of it.
