Hi Frank

><bg> What I meant was that if (Codebook you are using isn't it?) has a transaction running, why are you running code to total the quantity at this time? Shouldn't your code be before the Codebook (or whatever the framework is) transaction?

My understanding of transactions is that it has to be started before any data is entered and depending on situation either it is commited or rolled back. Now I required to get a total of the qty. already entered so that further item entry has to be curtailed to allow only so much maximum qty.

Thanks for your continued responses.
