Why you are doing doesn't make much sense. Why are you allowing the the user to 
change this field? If you want field one to be @rn + "1000" you gotta tell 
filepro you want to update the display. Put a DISPLAY before the END on line two.

Why are you using a version of filePro that is not Y2K aware?

I still can't figure out the logic. If you are going to allow the operator to 
override the assigned custID, how do you keep from having two customers with 
CustID of 6666?
