new problem with FORM...(helllllp!!!) :)

You'll never BELIEVE what Bruce Easton said here...:

Yeah, I don't either.  :(

Am I sure it -is- executed?  No.  I can't be because the page isn't
printing.  Am I sure it -should- be executing?  Yes.  Because the code
isn't changing, only where it's run from.

I could put a msgbox on the same line, right before the form, and one after
the form...two of them, really, and step through it page by page.  That's
the only way I could verify if that -line- is being executed.  One assumes
the opcode between msgboxes would be run.  Would this be sufficient to
prove the point?  

Actually, just tried that.  And strangely, I only got 3 sets of
before/after message boxes instead of 4.  So it's actually not hitting that
line.

Now tell me--what about the 5 lines I added would -possibly- change the
logic of the code so that the iterative nature changes?  I'm adding @once
entirely outside the scope of it, and I'm adding and @entsel label onto the
rest of it.  The looping all goes to inside things now in @entsel.

I'm actually not sure whether I should be upset or overjoyed with the
results of that test.

There is an auto table, but it doesn't do anything except a conditional
show.  Nothing that would affect what I'm doing here.

No.  It's doing all its work via lookups.

None.  There's no screen switching at all in this table (either version).
