I tried setting a column optomistically to .theformvariable so I could have inserts automate the correct millnumber on the current form. many people may use it at once, so I cannot make an "alter table" default, and a temp table is not acceptable for this situation. so I can pick the exact wysiwyg ".theformvariable" from the menu as a predefined choice, though I am trying to get it to put the value of .theformvariable. (no, $theformvariable doesn't work either.) let me state that I am CERTAIN this is not possible, I am doing it wrong, I am trying to convey what I want to do. :-D
