That is a great technique if you're only displaying data. But what if you
want input capable data in your subfile?

Thanks,

Hello Kurt

What I have done in the past, doesn't necessarily involve less work, but
seems to accomodate the need.

I usually build a single alpha field as the subfile record, and then use
hidden fields for the real data. Then I create data structures based on the

multiple record types I want to show, and EVAL the appropriate . With the
ability to color sections of an alpha field (which I just learned from this

message group -- thanks again!), this allows you to show or not show
whatever you want, with colors and attributes, per subfile record.
