Peter,

This is quick and off the top of my head so it may not be the best solution but hopefully will help. A couple of options I thought of was:

1. Have a 'Add a New Page' option which gives a grid to enter into and have the running total on the numbers entered there.
2. (This ones easier) If the running total value is not equal to 0 then only allow additions and no modifications. When the user resets the running total to 0 modifications are now available.

>>You may want to ask, 'Is this a application issue or procedural issue?' The user wants the running total value to ensure what they entered from the page totals to the same total value on the page, right? So, procedurally, it would be incorrect for the user to edit a previous page while entering a new page. HTH

>>>I have a client that needs a resettable running total on an input form that will be used for comparison purposes during input. They will start it at 0 and as they input values, it will increase and decrease accordingly. When they are done inputting a sheet of entries (paper), they compare it and then reset it for the next page.

>>>This all works in logic except when they go back and edit a record that may have not been in this batch of entries or from a previous "page". I am not 100% sure how I can ensure that this doesn't effect the running total. Example, say the runtot is at $100... they go back to an entry from a previous "page" and change the amount from $40 to $50. The routine would normally, subtract the $40 and then add $50 for a net change of +$10. The only problem is the original $40 was NOT in the total and the new $50 should NOT be added to the running total.
