Writing Your Own Functions - Do you have DEFINE code that you continually copy or -INCLUDE in your procedures? If so then you can create a function and declare it once and use it as many times as you need. This session will show you how to convert a set of DEFINEs into a usable function.

Enhancing the HTMLTable with HTML - The HTMLTable can display records for selection. It can also contain HTML Objects like checkboxes. We will discuss how to add them to your form and how to retrieve the selections.
