Thanks Albert! I knew it was going to be obvious! I use the tool bar in other situations but had not thought of it in this situation because I didn't need all the extra stuff. I could turn off all the other items, the only problem being that I can't change the "+" to something more descriptive. It would still be nice to find some way to tie a normal button to a specific table.
Do you know of any way to directly capture what the active table is in a form. One could indirectly track the active table by setting a variable in a table entry eep in 7.5, 7.1 does not have table entry eeps, just row entry but that would probably work. Capturing the active table could be used to make the toolbar visible/invisible as appropriate. In any event, Thanks for the Suggestion!
