Here is what I am doing.
I have a sales form which might have 1 to 20+ rows, it is setup on a temp table,
so I can define each var lookup in the variable expression, or I could do a
'select whatever'. When you say ' static form' is this what I am trying to do
or is it a 'dynamic lookup'.


Define lookup variables as expressions.

That would be dynamic lookup for selected row as you navigate through each row
at a time.

Tom,

It depends on what you are trying to achieve.

FWIW ...

For static form, SELECTing INTO VarName INDIC ... is the best approach.

However, for dynamic lookup data in a form with multiple (varying) rows, the
traditional Variable Lookup Expressions are better.
