Hi Paul
A very complete and informative answer. I learned.
Thanks.
Not to be greedy, however is it possible to have a
form dynamically save and make selectable the previous
field entries? From this discussion it seems like no.
Is that something you would do in the ActionForm?
Broadly speaking, how much processing can I do in an
ActionForm? Right now I just see it as a passive
conduit into the Action, maybee with validation. Are
they useful beyond that?
