I too have had problems with the differences between Enter Using and Edit Using forms.
Since, we upgraded to 6.5++ we can't use several forms in Edit mode to Add rows without getting an error message about "could not find required matching value" If we want to look at an invoice for a customer and we see we forgot to bill for an item we use to press F2 to add a row and type in the item #. Now, we get those errors unless we uncheck the required lookup and set the rules off. It appears that in 6.1 RBase would not check the rules or lookup violations until the row was saved but 6.5 checks these things as soon as the row is added or inserted. Since, RBase does not check these things in ADD mode I thought Edit mode would be the same. marc At 09:16 AM 03/07/2002 -0700, you wrote: >Patrick, > >I second what Ben says below. >Forms working differently between insert and edit has always driven me nuts. > I normally manually insert the row and then use the form in edit mode. > >Troy Sosamon > >===== Original Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at 3/07/02 1:00 am > >Patrick, > >fwiw, I only use forms in edit mode w/out a menu or task bar.
