Can't you just move the account number to the SFL header and do data entry for that account number only. Then process the input from the SFL.
Next phase is a clear SFL and an empty input filed for the account number.

Does the account number really has to be in the SFL?

I have a subfile that is used for data entry. One of the columns in the subfile is an account number. An account number can only appear in the subfile once (i.e. Unique key). Does anyone know how to check for that, other than writing the subfile to a temporary uniquely keyed disk file, and monitoring for a duplicate key error?

Thank you,

Doug
