Hi Phil,

I think in my earlier note I described how to set up the creation
defaults.  You can do this to change the defaults for referenced fields
and the field length!

If you want to insert a bunch of fields from the same ref file then why
not use the prompt?  (select the record then do
Insert->Database_reference->prompt, or push F8).  With the dbref prompt
you can select more than one ref field and insert them all in one go.

Mike,

This is probably the single most thing I dislike about Code Designer and
display files!  This is awful!  Every single time I insert a referenced
field the QGPL file is in the dialog box.  Then I have to enter the
library.
Then code gets the list.  Then I have to enter the file.  Then code gets
the
list.   Takes a long time if I want to insert more than one referenced
field.

The second most thing I dislike is the default value for inserting a new
field is 10. I'd rather it be 1.

Phil
