weird link of two fields

[Dennis Malen]

Ken,

When they are both on the screen that is when each mirrors the other. But 
when I run the processing it does what it is suppose to do as if the "Y" in 
field *145 was not their which it was not suppose to be. It looks like 
whatever is in *143 is the controlling field but if I update *145 then *143 
will mirror it.

Eventually I will have to delete the data and start with new info. Doing it 
the second time will tell the tale.
