Re: QtmhCvtDb difficulty

[Joe Teff <joeteff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

for a while I had to add a "garbage" field at the end of my form. I
called it DUMMY on each form. The problem was that the CvtDb API didn't
handle the last field correctly. By adding a unused, hidden field to the
bottom of the form; this field is the one that gets mishandled. Not a
glamorous fix but a highly effective one! This may help, may not.
