Data Entry at Runtime

[DDeR]

I'd like to type data into a field in a datawindow during runtime. How can I do that?

One thing I've tried seemed to work, but it's not perfect. I put a NULL column in the SELECT of a datawindow, but when I try to enter alphabetic characters, it says they're not valid. Numbers are okay, but alpha characters will not
validate.

TIA.

Later, Dennis
