Well I was just given a new computer to use and I suppose I ought to be estatic, but the VLIDE is not giving me the same features I had come to depend upon on the old system (although, like they say, you don't know what you got 'til it's gone). On the old computer, (Windows NT) if I clicked "Break On Error" on the Tools menu, it stayed checked. I only had to do this once. In this new computer, (Windows 2000) it comes un-checked. Is there a setting that I'm missing? I want it checked all the time. I don't ever want that to be un-checked. Is this possible? Thanks, Randy Richardson
