ad 1) I never tried, so I don't know.
ad 2) I have worked with menu selected inside a ADD RECORD layout procedure.
It works without problems after taking it out of a CASE which checked
for buttons, modified fields etc.
ad 3) It is mentioned somewhere in the manual that you CAN'T pass a filename
as parameter. What you can do is passing the string "[filename]"
and then using EXECUTE("NEXT RECORD("+$1+")").
(I hate it, I want to pass filenames too.)
Hope it helps Yvo Van Wezemael
