Ben, how does this technique work? I think I get the gist of what you're saying, that is, have a "trap" FIELD, that VAR FIELD you suggest, to prevent movement to another row w/o appropriate checking. However, doesn't a FIELD's SETTINGs require that either NEW DATA CAN BE ADDED or EXISTING DATA CAN BE REPLACE?
Is there some "trick" to co-locating fields directly on top of one-another.
