- Bruce,
-
- Your form looks good with the exception of the ATTRIBUTES line a =
-
- I don't know about using data field types in the attributes code, try
- this modification:
-
- a = formonly.begdt, REVERSE; {autonext, upshift, other attributes}
- Everything else looks good, and should fly. Good luck.
