Thanks Razzak. I will look into this. If I can make a simple application that works, maybe I and the rest of the group will gradually graduate to using 7.6 all the time. I have a feeling it will be a long process since I have to learn the ropes first.

Is there a setting I can change >to allow an individual to open multiple forms? Jim, When opening a form (EDIT USING formname), use the additional option of "MDI AS 'alias name'. Example: EDIT USING formname ORDER BY orderbyclause MDI AS 'aliasname' For complete details and a sample application to demonstrate the practical use of MDI forms, refer to 2008 SAT Applications: 2008 SAT Sample Applications: http://www.rupdates.com/sat2008/ -- R:BASE 7.6 Folder: \RBTI\2008_RBG76_SAT\DesigningMDIApplications Database: MDIForms Associated Forms: .
