Browse as a data entry screen

I'm way behind the curve on current capabilities but I thought it might be possible to enter records for a database via a browse. I've tried separately adding the BROWSE command and the DC_BROWSE() function and DCSTD.CH in my include list and project file but the program will not compile. Is this the correct approach, some other or can I not enter data thru a browse? I'm using build 255.

The objective here is to provide a stand-alone program that the customer can use to create about 100 recs each with about 4 data fields. Obviously, this can be done another way but I thought it would be helpful if the user could scroll thru what had been entered thus far.

Thanks. Fred

I just add a button that says NEW and points to a routine the lets you enter each field in the database. When done it adds a new record with DC_AddRec( nTime ) and save the fields that where entered. Simple really.

John thank you for your prompt reply. I'll see if I can grasp what you said.
