I didn't mean to imply in my earlier posting that you would be prevented from
returning to earlier fields (via the mouse of course... yet another complaint
that you can't trap the up arrow in a string gadget...) to change their values.

enter the data into it, or the condition you are trying to fix won't be
fixed...
