Did George say why to use Insert-SQL instead of APPEND BLANK?

>>>Also, when I set the controlsource to a numeric it allows me to select any option... There is some trick that I forgot to use it on a character field...

>>Each option caption should be an available choice. For instance, I'm currently working on the form, which uses three p-views. I have two option group and both work just fine. In both cases, it's a character field.
