Thanks Ken, but it wont work. The help for DISPLAY_ITEM says:
"Note that DISPLAY_ITEM only affects the display of the current
instance of the item; other instances of the specified item are
not affected. This means that if you specify a display change
for an item that exists in a multi-record block, DISPLAY_ITEM
only changes the instance of that item that belongs to the
block's current record."
I want to be able to change MULTIPLE records, and not necessarily
the current record.
Thanks for the effort...
Any other suggestions?
