Mike, thanks for your assistance here and it gives me pointers.


Just one thing thats puzzling me:-
If I Make Properties Local to a screen, they are treated separately and dont interfere with a second instance of the same screen at the same time ..right ?

If I make all the Memory variables lcoal,by looping around every field in a particular file, will these memory variables not then be local to the screen and not interfere with a second instance. If this is the case, I should not need to set up a Screen object to hold the memory variables ?


Regards,

Gerard
