[Quoted] Hi everyone. I am posting this question hoping that some expert(s) knows a work-around...

Here's my situation:

	I have a LOV called EMP (having LastName,FirstName,EmpID)
	attached to a Manager_ID field.  I have set the LastName in the
	LOV as the first field so that all incremental searches will be
	on the Lastname.  When a selection is made, EmpID is returned
	to Manager_ID.

I need answers to the following:
	1.  If I type in a # for the Manager_ID and then 'pull up' the LOV,
	     how can I get the associating record in the LOV to be 
	     highlighted without narrowing the search?  By default, Forms
	     highlights the very first record in the LOV.
[Quoted] 	2.  If I set the 'Validate from LOV' property to TRUE on the
	     Manager_ID field, how can I get forms to validate the 
	     Manager_ID field with the Emp_ID column?  Because the
	     LastName column is the first in the LOV, Forms, by default,
	     attempts to validate it against this field.

Thanks in advance.
