The @when user key function/feature.... Wish list item?

[John Esak]

George,
This is almost exactly what I did do. But, realize I had 7 columns of 15
rows and that many fields to individually chec k.  It worked fine, but was
not a simple copy and paste thing.  That's a lot of code to write for a one
liner of @wukA*.   But thanks.  I'll post my version of this if you
like....I took more than 2 minutes on it... So it is better. :-)

John
