F9 pressed once, completes the first match pressed again, gets the next match. keep pressing until the one you want is visible F8 once you have a match, get the PREVIOUS match (if you go past what you really wanted, you can back up) F10 once you have a match, leave that match, move over a space and put up the next match. The cursor is left at the second field and F9, F8 can be used to walk through names for the second field. each subsequent press of F10 will move over to the next field and start you all over again -- Dion Hollenbeck (619) 455-5590 x2814 Megatek Corporation, 9645 Scranton Road, San Diego, CA 92121 uunet!megatek!hollen or hollen@megatek.uucp
