Jerry, I agree with your comment regarding the visibility of the RIN for the record being changed, and have wondered why this was never incorporated. I would welcome your reference for an enhancement.

I'll experiment and see what I come up with, but what I don't like about the SEARCH and REPLACE is that it does not give you the ID or name of the record that is being updated, so you have to update records blindly. Maybe I should suggest an enhancement because that, to me, is a deficit in the programming.
