A new issue has surfaced. When I search with a programmed spec, Sesame freaks out. All the thin gray and thin black lines that separate the window panes and subfields become thick black lines. And the menu tree doesn't refresh, each time I F10 to the next record, a new "Current Sort Pass" progress window draws over part of it and remains there.

This was happening consistantly even after closing Sesame and reopening it. Now that I have written this out, it suddenly seems to be doing okay. ???  I'll let you know if it starts doing it again.

Have you seen anything like this?

It was happening with any simple spec like this for example: {Installed = ""}

I tried changing the element being referenced and tried changing which element I placed it in -- same results. In the middle of composing my previous posting here, I wanted to verify the specifics, but then I couldn't reproduce the problem. I have tried again this morning to reproduce the problem, but it just keeps working fine.

Regarding programmed retrieves, how would I reference a subfield? I tried a few things without success.

What if someone did need to use programmed retrieves that included main form and subform elements?
