When I enter data into the form, there is one<br>
field that needs to be checked for duplicates.<br>
<br>
If I use a locate, I end up on the matching record and not on my current one.<br>
<br>
Basically I want to disable all tables and screen updates, do a search and if<br>
found, set a flag and in either case the return the to the original workspace.<br>

Thanks Wallace<br>
