Scott, Your response isn't clear to me. Are you saying what Charles wrote is accurate (SMFPRMxx setting doesn't really matter) or that SMFPRMxx always has the final say (as I always thought it did up until Charles posted).

Have I mentioned how much I dislike when bottom posting and top posting get mixed in the same thread lately? I prefer bottom, but will go with the flow once started. Is it that hard to follow what's already there and do something different than your default reply settings in your email program? </end soap box> On Tue, 8 Oct 2013 12:02:46 -0700, Scott Ford <scott_j_f...@yahoo.com> wrote: >Mark, � You do not need to ...It comes that way right out of the box...

Issue this macro before collecting data for a particular record or subtype to avoid the overhead of data collection if it is not written.
