<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">When users are adding records through IUA, is it possible to auto-fill <BR>
one of the fields from a global variable?<BR>
What I want to do is this:<BR>
on the first record, users will enter a date. On every record <BR>
thereafter, the date field will be filled with what they entered on the <BR>
first record. They will, however, be able to enter a new value, which <BR>
would then be echoed in all subsequent records.<BR>

Sure. In @wefxx (where xx is your date field) do a lookup to the previous record and automatically put that date in the corresponding field of the current record. Alternatively you could use a global variable and set it on one record and retrieve it on the next.<BR>
