Excellent!  So glad to hear this.   I find myself using this trick a lot now myself when designing screens in Method, and it really does make a difference. Glad to be of help. Paul

 Ok.  Figured it out. Problem:  There were comma's contained in one, and in some cases, two fields.  The comma creates a separate record.  This was a problem in both the Name field where I was entering them as "Last, First" and in the Company filed where there some listings such as "ABC Company, ...

I have a "Call Report" Screen and it has a "Field Service Report" Section, I also have a Field Service Report Screen.
