I believe that what you have provided for bizobj should just then work. However, you reported that it did not work correctly. So Ed is suggesting that it's a bug. And you were to submit a copy of the program to him or Dabo bugs. To get around the problem I suggested that you use "NonUpdateFields" in your bizobjs. But like I said it should just work. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
