Subject Re: beginappend() Problem Fixed From Peter <phb2020@hotmail.com> Date Thu, 29 Jun 2023 20:14:24 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Peter Wrote: I spent some time today creating turnkey forms and dbfs as you recommended.  That is when I realized that I put the beginappend() before the form was opened.  So moving a few lines of code around, I got beginappend() to work.  Beginedit() was much easier. In addition I was able to prefill some of the entryfields.  The prefill for last name does not seem to do what I want, but the other entryfields are good.  I'll get it right soon. Onward.
