No, Ken.  It is the only one.  Actually, it is in a @whp* event.  I'm trying 
to modify an existing processing table and set of screens that have a 
complete yearly calendar - one field per day, two months on each screen. 
Each field is 4,allup.  Each represents time off that an employee has had - 
vacation full day, vacation half day, sick day, sick half day, etc.  We 
indicate this with a one or two letter code entered into the appropriate 
field.  The system subtracts the appropriate number of full or half days 
from the total number the employee is due as the year goes on.  This has 
been working well for some time.

Now however, they need to track Comp Time in hours.  The earned amount can 
be different from the actual and a Call Out is different still.  In 
addition, an employee can earn and use Comp Time the same day and can use it 
on a Vacation Day.  So I've set up a detail file that will popup the needed 
fields when the user presses F10 in the appropriate day field on the screen 
and will then put a C in the day field to inform the user there is a Comp 
Time detail record there.   My plan is to write the routine so I don't have 
to have 365 of them!!!  :o)

Thanks,
Steve
