Hi David ...

To clarify : When you are in edit mode and you
perform an action then move off that record, that record
is _automatically_ saved. In the case of a delete, the
fact that the record disappears and you naturally move
to a new record is indicative of the save.
If you change a record then move to a new record, there
is no special save function you need to activate. It's
too late!
If you change a record and have *not* moved off the record,
you may get your old values back by hitting * Origin: Star Of Life BBS (1:3805/4)
