>>3. I can't get the Supplier column (based on an array - aSupplier) to behave correctly. It's as if aSupplier is created as a character variable. (I try to create/re-create it in the when, but it fails.) And when I try to reference it outside the when it's as if it doesn't exist.

Hi Richard,

For #3, check to see if your array name is going out of scope. You will need to make an array property on your form, and place the array into it with acopy(). (To make an array property, just put () after the property name, as aMyArray() when adding the property.

For #2, could you give us the code where the view loses its data? You said you could SEE it in the debugger....
