The pointer does stay there, so hitting Next works, even though the screen blanks.

Actually - that helps, I never realized the pointer was still active - I thought I had to type in the part number again.  That'l do.

Actually - there is a reason (and I mentioned it a while back in a different thread) - Assume you have all the information for a new component part - you add the part in IN-B - on the first time you are entering the part, you can't save anything in the vendor screen, since the part hasn't been saved yet.  You have to save it first, then get back into that part and then enter the vendor info (using the VEND button).  We do this often and I asked if there was some way to avoid the double entering.....this improves the status quo slightly.

I guess - Now that I no longer have to key in the whole part number again to enter the vendor info, it might seem easier (haven't tried it yet   ).  My original request to Lynn or Allen was to be able to enter all the information and only have to hit save one time, but I don't know how practical that is (based on the data and file structure).
