>Hm. I disagree. Tables that have blank rows (possible) aren't normalized. The solution is in data logic, IMO.
On second thought, if by "data logic" you mean implementing some kind of table constraint so blank records aren't allowed at the *table* level, I think this truly is the fundamental solution - rather than fixing a data entry form. After all, someone could go in later and (assuming it's VFP) use raw VFP or attach via OLEDB and mess around with records. Or Access or Excel, for that matter.
