>You won't be doing APPEND BLANK on the grid, you'll be doing APPEND BLANK to the underlying table, which will then show up in the grid. If you don't want blank records to be saved, the best place to put the code would be in the actual table, under the Record Validation information. That way, you won't be able to save a blank record in a browse window, either. Your Rule: would be something like:
