EDIT USING is definitely a better way to go, especially now with the great PROPERTY commands, it gives you a much better way of controlling the data input process.

Mark,
I can't give you a good reason for the background, but indeed all of the
forms in our application (over 500 of them) are used in EDIT mode. I guess
it goes back to the old DOS days where our forms contained only variables,
not fields, and all the control was done in eeps. Some may have seen this
as inefficient, but I enjoyed the control. So the 'edit using' carried
over into 7.x, and it still holds true that every row that gets inserted
into a table is done so by our code, even from EDIT USING forms. (Hint:
the dummy table gets a real workout! (but still contains only one row ...))
