Ben:
This is what I am doing right now, PREVTAB NEXTTAB, it is not too much of a
problem on the faster computers but on the slower ones there is a screen
bleep, going back and forth between tables; I was hoping that there was a
command that I had overlooked. I have asked several times (without luck) for
a REFRESH SCREEN command. Thanks for the info.
Javier,

Javier,

In my case I pre-populate tables with keys and default values prior
to editing. Subsequent editing is preceded by a check to assure
there are enough open lines, and at some pre-determined point
excess lines are removed.

While in a region of a child table, when the user makes a choice
(choose presented by an eep) the eep updates the table(s) runs a
prevtab, recalc tables, nexttab sequence. The only gotcha in this
so far is to be sure that the cursor does not return to a field with an
entry eep attached.

I would imagine something similar would work w/ inserts... but I
haven't tried (unsuccessfully) since 6.1.
