Thanks again to those who responded or at least took the time to read my
request for help. I was able to resolve this with a combination of Tom
Grimshaw's suggestion about an eep checking for data existence after a
certain point and a button that fires an epp skipping to the last field
inside the NEW region (gets whites whiter - keeps colors brighter!) around
my 2nd table and then calls a playback file with the [Enter] key.
I must say, I am still curious as to how, with the classic 1-to-many
relationship between the Invoice and Line Items tables, that no one else
ever tried building a form this way, or at least tried it the same way as
me. No matter, pain...slowly...fading......ahhhhhh.
