Ben, how does this technique work?  I think I get the gist of what you're
saying, that is, have a "trap" FIELD, that VAR FIELD you suggest, to prevent
movement to another row w/o appropriate checking.  However, doesn't a
FIELD's SETTINGs require that either NEW DATA CAN BE ADDED or EXISTING DATA
CAN BE REPLACE?

Is there some "trick" to co-locating fields directly on top of one-another.

Thanks,
Steve in Memphis
