RE: Dual subfile "MOUBTN"

-Excelent point...

I have to give the users the ability to sort (order) the columns in any format
they want (even sort within sort)...  So I already have this happening
with choice buttons...

but even after the user has "just the right view" of the data,
they still want to select items by jumping around the list...
