Though John Esak answered your question, your message was probably
seen by very few readers of filePro-List.

Your message was in HTML format which many on this list automatically
reject as spam. AND your message scored 6.6 on spam assasin which
is very high for the likelyhood of spam.

If you have questions about how to implement @wlf(dummy_field)
in a popup update situation to act as if you are standing in
that file, please ask away here in a text only email message.
