Javier,

Sorry to come in this thread like a comet, but as a newbie to win Rbase (for
the last 5? years) I try an application that is close to your thoughts. 
As a matter of fact any application in a dbms contains a form that handles
1:m rel tables.

How do you manage for example the lack of combo boxes in a region? I 've
tried the pop ups as an alternative with no acceptable success. For example
RRBYW8 uses a code field to popup, but in my buiseness reality no one wants
to use and see codes, only descriptions. How do you accomplish this?

I'm impressed of the new things Win Rbase accomplishes but I have an
impression that this 'basic' handle of 1:m rel tables is yet not fully
functional in forms.
I mean you still need tricks to handle such a basic need in dbms?

I will be glad to be wrong.

TIA
Polychronis

I know that some user like to add the data to a temporary table and the
transfer it to the actual table. I prefer to use the actual table; however,
I always use speed button to add and delete rows using code rather than the
insert, delete roe native functions. For example to enter a new row in a
sub-table, I prompt the user for some minimum data, add some default values,
insert the data into the table and then use the PROPERTY ..'REFRESH' to
update the form; it work beautifully. New records to them main table are
always added with code outside of the form and the then the form is opened
in the EDIT mode; as I said, I do not use form in the ENTER mode at all.juts
a personal preference that has serve me well.
