Thanks Doug

That's exactly what I was looking for. I forgot all about the on OnEntry expression. I had already come up with a solution by adding a new record to the table that worked, but I was concerned with the record sequence in the frx table. This is much simpler. I will redo it using the on entry expression.

Thanks...

Find the record in the FRX with OBJTYPE = 9 and OBJCODE = 4, then put the call into the TAG field. That would certainly be easier than trying to add a field at the correct spot.
