Okay, still on a mad bash a making some Forms 3.0.16.12.0 friendlier. One thing I'm trying to figure out, which I don't see anywhere in the documentation or in Steve's book is how to do detail-master coordination when one enters a query in the detail area. I'd like to code it such that one is positioned back in the master record with all of the details queried that matched what was entered, and that later Key-NxtRec, Key-Down, etc step you through the list of records (and their details) that matched the detail specification.

How gross is this going to be? I think I can imagine a way of doing it, but it ain't pretty. Have you done this before?
