Hi Andrew
Thanks for the explanation. We will go through the main record types and try to suggest some improvments (but hopefully for next year).
cheers
Lana

VDCT's inspector window can group fields together using the PromptGroup
information, but most of the standard record types were developed by a number
of different people and not all of the authors understood how that worked.

If someone could go through all the record types and clean up these values to
group the fields more sensibly I would be very happy to merge the resulting
changes into Base.
