Things are going fine <g>.

Foreget the learning curve, It's a Vortex! I go around and around.

My boss has told me that I'm good to go for your training end of this month. Boy do I need it!

I am plodding through the manual, and get constant distractions from my training. What else is new.

Thanks for the "?" in the View. It's funny how it does not get the proper character type when it's not defined in ram (from the command window) but works just fine via vp_CustNo='93835'

Now what business object do I use for a multi page (3) look up business object. Page 1 is a text box to get the Customer's Number from a view of all customers. Page 2 is an open orders grid. Page 3 is a shipped grid. From each of those pages there will be command buttons that display more detail as needed by the operator.

Open orders may have buttons that determine steps in manufacturing (what stage is the product in), Other items to be shipped, and the list goes on.

For shipped It would have Pro #, Freight Claim , RMA type buttons.

As you can see this form set is a monseter. Only data entry will be done via Shipped orders, all others are just grids for display.

>No problem at all. However, I recommend that you check out the section in the Mere Mortals Developer's Guide "Dynamically Adding Controls - Speeding Form Instantation". If you have dozens of controls on each page it can start to slow down form instantiation. This section of the Guide provides instructions for dynamically instantiating controls at runtime.
