Blank Record

Hi Filepro Users,

I have a question.Is it normal for Filepro to have a blank record at the 
end of the group of records.

We have 1947 men in our file that lists every man we have found in the 
U.S. that served on the Destroyer U.S.S. McCaffery DDE860.That means 
that there should be 1947 records in our file.

But, we have 1948 records in the file, the last one being blank.When we 
add a new member, the data for this man is entered, such as address, 
city and state.When we have entered all data, we hit the ESC button to 
record the data. The data is recorded and the screen shows the next 
record, which is blank.

I do a control-C to move the cursor down to the "Enter Selection," at 
the bottom of the screen.However, the record number shows 1948 instead 
of 1947.

If I do add a new man, he is given the record number 1948, but before I 
add a new man, how can I prevent the record number from showing 1948?

Take Care,

Harold
