By "accepting things the way they are", I meant the way things are here on
the list, not the way things are with the software.
I am sorry that you found my attitude condescending. I sincerely was trying
to be helpful - to say, relax, be happy. It's true I implied you should be
embarassed, but I still think the form closing is not a bug - which brings
me to the bet:
"(whether) 1) I was going crazy because no one else has ever had this
problem or 2) no one uses this feature. I'm betting on #2, but I've lost
bets before."
You bet that no one uses the feature. I use it and so do lots of other
people, so you lose the bet. That means that you were "going crazy becauswe
no one else has ever had this problem". I am sorry for your loss of sanity
and "a weeks productivity" that you now owe the list. Seriously though,
maybe people have encountered this problem before, perhaps I have, but after
thinking about it, that is the way the form should behave if you use FOR 1
ROW. Just my opinion, of course. I would say that virtually no one uses
ENTER... FOR 1 ROW with a dependant second table - we've all implemented it
other ways.
