USE THE SAVE FIELDS

Now that you have defined the save fields, you need to modify the field

definition for the fields that transfer data to, or receive data from,

the newly defined save fields. In this exercise, you use the save fields

in conjunction with three fields on the ORDER form and three on the

TOTALS form. Let's consider the order number first. Not only do you

specify that the order number on the ORDER form is to be transferred to

the TOTALS form, but you specify that it is to be incremented

automatically by 1 until it reaches 999999, after which the order number

is reset to 100001.
