I want to use the same form for both editing and entering.  The database has 
ZERO ON and I'd like to keep it that way because there's lots of calcs on the 
form that need to operate with null values.

There is a "supplier" field (column ID), and the customer and address info are 
displayed on the form using form expressions.  The problem is that there is an 
actual supplier with an ID of 0 !!!   So when the form comes up ("enter using 
master") it displays info for ID = 0 on the form until they go in it and change 
the supplier.   I can null out those values in a "form on after start eep" but 
as soon as they cursor thru preceding fields it immediately fills back in.   
OTOH I have to make sure they can actually display info if they choose ID 0, so 
I cannot change my form expressions to ignore ID 0.

I'm thinking I'd have to remove those form expressions and instead use EEPs?   
On after start capturing whether it's "edit using" and then populating the 
fields, and then an EEP on exiting the supplier field to display again?  

Anyone think of anything else I can do?  Thanks!

Karen
