Bruce, may you please add 2 new embed points in the rutine where you set the ROw Overrides for the MultiForm
May be better an image to be more especific...

This is because I have too many diferents forms and its easy to add lines manually.
Thanks

using the template settings is _always_ a better idea than hand-coding it. Even when it seems slower to add the template settings.

This is because when you set it at the template level you are describing "what" to do, not "how" to do it. When you go straight to code you are describing the _how_ - and that's bad.

If you describe _what_ then the template can change, and things under the hood can change, but what you want remains. If you describe the HOW then as soon as it changes you will have bugs in your program. If you're lucky that means a tougher upgrade, if you are unlucky it means you need to spot the bug at some point.

cheers
