I like Razzaks method of drill downs but here is my twist on it. 

I have forms with a regions and form var's that match the column that
holds the information id the user would like to drill down into. When then user
clicks on that cell in a column it brings up a Menu that askes you how you 
would like to view the data. Then it loads a different form with your data. I 
feel that this approach give you many different ways to let the user drill down 
into your data. This also works on forms without regions. You can add the epp 
to your cell of data and then clicking on the cell will bring up your choices. 
The only problem with with running the epp from the cell of data is timing, 
each time you land on the cell it fires off the eep because there is no double 
click event in rbase. So the basic logic logic of both methods combined would 
probably be the most flexable. Creat buttons and add menu that pops up when you 
click that button that alows the user to veiw the data in many different ways. 
Below is some simple code for you to check out.

--InventoryBinEdit.Men

COLUMN |-Please Select-|

|Edit Bins in Selected Rack|

|Edit Bins in Selected Area|

|Close|

CHO vX1 FROM InventoryBinEdit.Men

IF vX1 = 1 THEN

  EDIT USING InventoryBin ORDER BY RackName1,Level,SortOrder +

  WHERE RackName1 = .vRackName  AT 10,10,650,540 NOHEADER

  GOTO Done

ENDIF

IF vX1 = 2 THEN

  EDIT USING InventoryBin ORDER BY RackName1,Level,SortOrder +

  WHERE RackName1 CONT .tDeptID AT 10,10,650,540 NOHEADER

  GOTO DONE

ENDIF

IF vX1 = 3 THEN

  GOTO Done

ENDIF



LABEL Done

CLEAR VAR vX1

Return

 The region shows the invoice date, number, sales amount, tax amount, fright 
amount and total due.  I want to "drill down" from any of these invoices to the 
detail of the invoice.  I am not sure how to attack this.
