Blank Record

[Richard D. Williams]

Harold,

Typically, when a new record is added using selection 3 on the dclerk 
selection screen, a record is added, filled-in, the user hits esc-esc 
and that record is added.
But, filepro goes right to another new record. The user will typically 
hit del-del.
That is the cause of your blank record at the end.

Hope this helps,

Richard D. Williams

P.S. Thank you and your colleagues for your service.
