d'oh! Great idea, Scott -- it worked like a charm. Almost seems as if I
should have thought of that myself . . . :-) Thanks!

I'd love to say you're right, Buck, but these message are more along the
lines of, "You need to enter an item price", or "The sales order has
processed successfully", or "That is not a valid item number" -- stuff
like that. Not saying anything against our users, though. . . :-)

Unfortunately, there is no OVRDBF command, and the program isn't called
from a CLP, so I'd have to add all that in. I was looking for something
simpler -- I think Scott's answer did the trick.

Thanks very much to everyone who replied, though. This list really is
great!
