Dear Mike: FORMSPEC has two constraints: The maximum number of fields per form is 128. The maximal size of a _compiled_ form is 12 kbyte. I have recently similar problems. I want to add an isotope composition in one screen. The mixture may have 20 components. I removed the field processing statements from the form definition. I wrote instead Pascal procedures in my calling program. The advantage is that I could use cycles instead of typing the same processing statements twenty times. Disadvantage: I had to reinvent the wheel: how to justify a field a fill it with leading zeroes. I had to write all this stuff in Pascal. Hope this helps.
