I'd add this: I define a data structure made up of the input-capable fields on the screen and also define a field named OrigFields. When I write the subfile record I also populate OrigFields, which becomes a hidden field in the subfile record.

- allows an easily implemented F5-Refresh,
- an easy way to check if any updated fields were changed at another work station in the interim between the unlocked read and the locked chain.
