Hi -

Just finished reviewing the posts here - I don't see a similar issue

Whenever I add a new record, the software takes me back to the main menu - no error, but nothing has been added to my database.
I'm using windows xp - locking is OFF
the key name has been set to ACR_Number and is 7 digits long

any ideas?

%db_def = (
ACR_Number => [0, 'numer', 7, 7, 1, '9999999',''],
REP_Last_Name => [1, 'alpha', 20, 20, 1, '', ''],
Date => [2, 'date', 12, 15, 1, &get_date, ''],
Payee => [3, 'alpha', 50, 50, 1, '', ''],
Account => [4, 'alpha', 0, 255, 1, '', ''],
Description => [5, 'alpha', '40x3', 500, 0, '', ''],
Dollar_Value=> [6, 'numer', 5, 5, 1, '99999', '99999']

);
# The column name for the database key. Can be any column, but it must be unique!
# You can't have two records with the same key value!
$db_key = 'ACR_Number';
