No Jess,

What I mean is, that instead of replacing "all" of the records with the (with) I only want to replace
"one" record with the replacement value for the fields below . I was going to create an addational
table and link it to paiddate, group code and insurance company name to handle this, but I feared
an overall rewrite of the applacation and i'm trying to get around it.

all of the fields are numbers (numaric) 8.2 and indexed
chkamt (Check Amount) 8.2 number
misc_amt (Misc Amount) 8.2 number
gen_misc (Gen. Misc) 8.2 number
