not that I accept Ken's views with respect to ghost screens; on occasion I
have found them to be an excellent approach to solving problems in quick -
particularly when enabling me to avoid using qtp  - especially when I know
exactly what I want to do and when I want it done :)

Regards, Joe.

and I, as I am sure we all, recognize how easy it is - without any intended
malice - to auto-respond in a manner that might appear offensive to those of
a more sensitive disposition, but I hasten to add that I have not advocated
a ghost screen with respect to this issue, and I can only assume that Ken is
sighting some other Joe :)

P.S. great solution Ken - I should have taken more time to read 'all' of it.

Regards, Joe.

My apologies to all the members here if I offended
you, that was not my intention. I was working on an
FTP script at the same time as I was writing the
pseudo code for the member.

I have a habit of getting testy when people question
my approach to coding. I believe it is a sign of a
true propeller-head programmer.
 
I spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of PH
and the only thing that bugs me more is people telling
me Java is a better language..OH PLEASE! Tell me
again why I should wait 3 weeks for a program that
takes less than a day to produce in PH.

As for Ghost screens that Joe described. There are
only a few times I use a ghost screen:

1) When I want to trap a user in a screen and not let
them out until they do what they are supposed too.
Like enter values up to 100%, or disburse a total $
amount completely.
2) When I want to run Quick in Batch
3) When I need to do a specific process that never
gets displayed but gets called from many locations (ie
security look up, etc) and always sends back the
results to the calling screen.

Im sure there are other instances but in this case I
thought it was over kill.

Sorry again folks. I am only trying to steer y'all in
the right direction. This is still the best Language
around in my opinion.
