Protecting lookups to free records

[Mike Schwartz (PC Support & Services, Appleton, WI)]

     I was having a converstation this afternoon with another programmer,
and we were debating whether or not we should be protecting a lookup
to a free record.  We both usually do it, but the lookup wizard in
filePro doesn't offer the "protect" option when you setup a lookup
free, and I don't believe the wizard has ever offered that.

     Is that something that I should add to the wishlist, or have many of
you asked for that in the past?  I'm running filePro on SCO Unix,
both are 5.0.5

     The wizard is nice, especially for the new filePro trainees I am
working with, but it has one other shortcoming that bothers me:

     I would also like the wizard to be able to handle a lookup with a
complex embedded variable, like:

lookup art=artfile k=(@rn&za&zd) i=A -bx

     Have any of you asked for this on the wishlist?
