Thurman,
Thank you for your reply. My problem was that I didn't have a value
stored for the DIC {DIC} field. The screenman instructions give
misleading advice, and I had missed that that particular field was not
optional.
"I imagine you are way past what I do with the ScreenMan, " ...
Not at all, I am only on my second screenman form created. I just use
it as an interactive way for end users to edit some fields.
I think that Screenman is a pretty cool tool, but to me it could
benefit from some polishing.
Thanks again
Kevin
