Could you give me some more details as to how this is actually used on the form? I understand placing a field on the form, but then what? Do you create a .pgm file and call it or do you place the commands inside of an expression? I trivial example would be most appreciated!

1. should.

2. make udf either [a] separate program included in project or [b] procedure in procedure library/method in main application. add a field to report. instead of field name, you put call to procedure (e.g., myeject()). this will execute code to eject and return blank (or whatever you want to return).
