Hello I have two separate issues I would like help with. First
one is simple. I would like to try to change the system editor
from wordpad or notepad to word. I know that I have to find
the forms60_editor environment variable. I am working on
windows NT and can't find this variable. Please help!!!
Thanks.

Second issues is involving multiple data blocks, a few control
blocks and stacked canvases. I have a form with 2 stacked
canvases. On top is a stacked canvas in which I call
'stationary'. The other is called 'scrolling'. They are just
that. My navigation trouble comes in when I have a data
blocks's item assigned to the stationary canvas as well as
the scrolling canvas. I can't get the tab order to go
sequentially. It wants to keep with the items in it's block.
What ends up happening is while tabbing it will skip items
and sometimes go from canvas to canvas. Is there a way to
make my navigation consistent with multiple canvases and
multiple blocks? Big question I know...and confusing...let me
know what I can or can't do. Thanks.
Andrea
