   Tony, hi,   
      
   What I meant that was I had a form up and running on my machine. I can edit   
   my data with this. I have a radio button field for "Buy - Yes/No". I   
   noticed that the network had dropped when I went to edit this on a record.   
   Clicking on this made no change to the field status. Then I saw that I   
   could not even move off the record. Like frozen.   
      
   Bear in mind that the .fsl is on the upstairs server.   
      
   When I found the network down and restored it, although the form was still   
   showing on my machine it of course was still just a pretty picture, no   
   editing could be done with it.   
      
   What I imagined was that when the network was restored that I could   
   continue with the editing process. In fact I had to close the form and   
   reopen it before I continue editing.   
      
   I was suprised this happened. I expected contuniued action when the network   
   was restored. Did I miss something here, maybe in my panic I did something   
   that prevented continued editing?   
      
   Regards   
   Anne
