That's necessary, I thought about it when imagining the form wizard would copy descriptions from the table definition, too. Or the Form implementation could behave like themacro, if a property allowing it is set to true. Could be worth a feature request if I'm not the only person who would like it ... but there are more important things to implement. For now the macro will get it's fixed place in my db library. :) Marc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
