I like to make programs that are very similar to IBM's maintenance screens. In other words, subfile display with options (2=change, 3=copy, 4=delete,etc..etc..) and to add, Use a function key. F6. Most of the time it works out great. For deleting, making the "confirmation page" is really quite simple as well. Bradley V.
