Sherry, In your example, let's say I choose the Edit tab. I then make a change, whoops I have the wrong person or some other dumb mistake. I can't recover from the change I just made, there isn't a [CANCEL] button to click. Right? If I can't cancel, the program shouldn't allow me to make an edit. Laird
