>>I'm doing no saving until I get a decent percentage above inflation, plus $5 a month just for the pleasure of it. Like I heard the other day: "Jesus saves - Krishna invests!"

>A decent percentage will help you keep your shirt longer, investing may help to buy a new one, or lose the one you have. To really make money you must not use your own money, for example, you should open a bank.

Ah, the uncanny art of making money out of nothing...

>But it isn't, since you must select a specific control and/or enter a specific value. To add without a 'New' requires more work from the user and is less defined.

That control is the first textbox, where the user would have to enter something anyway, even if there was a New button. If that control is bound to document number, leaving it empty is all it takes - so user has to perform no extra action. Actually, less than with a New button.

After every save, the form sits on a blank record.

No, there's a .savedvalue=.value in .gotfocus(). Same for unbound controls. If you don't want a control to change the form.changed status, there's a textbox.lTrackChange (also for any other control) which you can set to .f.

That army has already won :).

I don't remember being founded, and I think I can't have more than one father, unless we rewrite a lot of biology :).
