Hello Greg,
Is there a way to add more information in a roster that the case has been closed without inserting group occurrence through the menu or keyboard shortcuts? Actually I am trying to change a closed case back to a partial case (plus icon) not (pencil icon) this will ease adding more info to multiple occurring records.
Thanks,
Pierre

Nevermind ... =) Figured it out. yay!

Hi. If it's for just one case, try editing manually the sts-file. Add a line as shown below:

[KeyInfo]
Version=CSPro 4.1
[PartialNodes]
Pos=ADD.04-01-1291.B_DICT.END_18.

... ADD tells CSEntry that the case is in add mode, so it will allow adding occs without requesting inserts
... 04-01-1291 is the case-id of my B_DICT (use your target case-id and dict-name)
... END_18 is whatever item in a form (I suggest using a single-occ item in your first form)

I often use a small scanning batch-app for recreating the sts-file for allowing fully-free re-entry without the constraints of modify mode. The scanning is triggered before launching the entry, reads the dat-file as a text-file (setfile/fileread), recognizes case-ids (tailor the app for each dict) and generates a Pos=ADD... line in the fresh sts-file. Hope it helps!
