Vic I have observed this also. My rule of thumb -- and I have used this one with every version of WE that I have used which goes back to 3.0 or so -- is to always check forms completely prior to hitting the submit button. Don't assume anything; doublecheck your work to make certain that things are as you expect.
I expect to pass through the world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. --Old Quaker saying as quoted by Ray Pritchard in the sermon "Come Before Winter" http://www.keepbelieving.com/sermon/2008-05-27-Come-Before-Winter/ On Wed, 11 Mar 2009, [email protected] wrote: > Greetings: > > I've come across a little quirk that might be within the realm of being > corrected in future releases. > > When filling out forms and there are multiple edit boxes for one bit of data > such as a phone number, WE struggles with the field name.
