You will notice BEEPS eminating from your computer if you try to do certain things: 1.) You will be BEEPED if you try to delete the file you are in the process of editing. You may only delete files which you are not accessing. 2.) You will be BEEPED if you try to CAPTURE a label to the capture file and the capture file is the currently open file. You can only capture labels to the capture file from the currently open file as long as the currently open file is not "CAPTURE.DBL" itself. 3.) You will get a BEEP if you are attempting to edit more than 1001 labels per file. If you require more than 1001 records, I suggest reorganizing your data into more than one file and name each file to tip you off to its primary organization. AtoN MtoZ or byzip01, byzip02, etc. 4.) Avoid using any character other than a thru z or 0 thru 9 in your label names. I filter out underline characters and dashes, etc. from the names of your files. MJS
