Most fields under Item I would like to skip. But it's not working. Can you help?

Data Entry Templates are created, maintained and stored under the Security Group, if you are using Adagio's Security for your users. Are you sure you are editing the right one?

Andrew, you are right. Thanks.
What is the function for the template on the menu bar under Maintenance?

This is the default template for use when additional templates are set up, or the template that would be used if you were not using the Group Security.

Great. Thank you for the information.
