BOOM!

Who said old dogs cannot learn new tricks!?!  Well, I'm sure this is not 
new but it is to me.

Absolutely right and I simply toggled to a screen where the real fields 
are shown then B and data is shown.

All these years coding filePro and I never heard nor came across this; 
then again, I am yet to read the user manual.


Thank a million John!
