OK I guess it was my bad, I just tested it and it does come back with a
warning message. It must have been me being "OK" happy when I got the message
the first time. So it does warn you although the only choices are "OK" and
"Cancel" so it won't go forward without re-posting the data. I suppose that
works just fine here but it might not be so good with some other apps, I don't
know.
Anyway problem resolved,
Eric Kingsley
