    I haven't done much (or anything) with drill previously, so I'm having trouble. 

    I have a custom form over a custom table.  This form has an EMPLOYEE field from the custom table, but doesn't have a COMPANY field (because the table doesn't have it).

    How do I make the drill-select for my EMPLOYEE field correctly return the employee list(s) like the HR11 EMPLOYEE field?

    Attached is the .scr for my custom form.

    Thanks for your help!

      Never mind!   I got my answer from a buddy.  I'm posting it here in case it helps someone else.

      In the .scr, I had to add a field in the MAP section, just before the employee number, as "+0001]" for the static COMPANY value.  Then I added an EMP-COMPANY row in the $TRANS section just above ZZE-EMPLOYEE.  Once I did this, it worked like a charm, and the COMPANY still doesn't appear on the screen, which is nice.

      Attached is the revised .scr in case your are interested.
