While selecting items and adding to a ReturnArray, user needs to add an item not found in the frmPickForm. How do I call up this edtMaintain form?

Sometimes, late at night, about 2am, some things are not so obvious. Cool, Thanks. Modal-to-NonModal-to-NonModal This last NonModal form is still multi-user that of course depends on the Buffermode settings, I guess I was temporarily confused the two issues, Form modality and 'Buffer Modes'
