DATABASE FUNCTIONS

[Bill]

I concur. The database linked controls are not finished yet. The are
excellent for moving through and displaying records. You cannot insert a new
record with them and they sometimes don't update some fields for difficult
to figure out reasons. The direct "primitive" controls work great and you
must use them for inserting new records.
