Maybe a unique keyed Data Area (not positive that's possible) - but a work file in qtemp
With a unique key seems like less work and harder to break.
I like the keyed file because it removes some burden from the program/programmer.

Subject: Subfile data entry duplicates
I have a subfile that is used for data entry. One of the columns in the subfile is an account number. An account number can only appear in the subfile once (i.e. Unique key). Does anyone know how to check for that, other than writing the subfile to a temporary uniquely keyed disk file, and monitoring for a duplicate key error?
Thank you,
Doug
