If I'm following you, Booth, I think you would need a hidden field equivalent to Column II so that you would know when the editable values had been changed. You could then just do a loop (my preference is a FOR in these cases) through the entire subfile editing each record, setting indicators (one for the subfile record to Highlight/RI, and another one for "There was glitch somewhere" that would condition the SFLMSG). During the loop, re-calculate the subfile control record field.

But, if you don't think it can be done, I probably misunderstood.

Subject: validate & update of subfile

I believe what I want to do is not possible however I am wrong so often
I decided to ask here.

I have a subfile with two editable columns.
I wish to validate that each code in column I is valid.
I wish to total the numeric values in column II and display the total of
column II in a field on the Control Record

If the user keys an invalid code in column I _and_ changes values in
column II I would like to issue a SFLMSG, highlight the erroneous field,
_and_ change the column II total on the Control Record.

Reasonably possible?
