As an amplification of this technique in RBWin, I had to recreate a display on the bottom of a scrolled region, which was easily done in DOS using WRITE / SET RESTORE OFF. Of course, in RBWin, this does not work.
The solution was to use a one row table with the data in it which was updated by the EEP on entry to the row, including the linking column value. I then added this table to the form. Works like a charm. It is on one of the MDI forms I will be demonstrating at the conference.
