do form myform
Set nodataonload to true.
When form comes up 1st record is displayed ANYWAY.

I do not want recs displayed until the user selects one. user is in key field and code i have placed in the valid event will find the record to display.

There are no buttons on the form if that matters.

The form is being called from a 2.6 style program (prg) if that matters.

Very basic form. User enters key value, find occurs and if found, the rec is displayed otherwise error is displayed. if the rec is found user may enter a value in only 1 field of same record. User saves. Start all over.
