[RBASE-L] - Re: Saving data with the ESC key, is it possible in Rbase 7.6?

heheh...I did understand that I need to use my own table name...but thanks!
Before I put this one to bed....how do I enable the pop up to ask the user if they should save the changes? It looks to me like the DB memo has that option as the default, but the Variable Memo does not.
