Redisplaying multivalue fields (AREV Specific)

I have several multivalue fields, each displaying values horizontally rather than vertically. Each of these fields is an associated mv field on its own, i.e. field 1 is AMV group 1, field 2 is AMV group 2, and so on.
The number of values in each field is exactly the same in all other fields, i.e. identical number of values in each field. However, I cannot have these fields associated among themselves, hence each field has its own (single-field) association/grouping.
There are more values then can be seen in the display of each field. What I would like to achieve is that when the user goes to a value of any field (probably via pre-prompt process hook), I would like all other fields to synchronise their display with the current field the user is in.
I'm using AREV v3.12. Any help would be appreciated.

What you propose is a little confusing - why not simply one AMV group?
Consider the possible use of protected (empty/invisible) fields between the MV fields that have prompt process code attached to isolate and run redisplay logic for the entry fields. We've seen this implemented where spreadsheet-style behaviour has been required across a "grid".

Sprezz's "one big AMV" approach is probably the best basis to work on. As long as you're not in "edit" mode you can cursor up/down left/right through the group just like a spreadsheet. When you DO edit an entry and hit though, you'll find you move down to the next field rather than along through the current line. If this isn't your desired behaviour you can always intercept on a post-prompt or perpetual process and mess with WC_Wi_Next% and WC_Mv_Next% depending on the value of WC_Wc% (the exit key from Scribe.)
If possible, see RevMedia Volume 4, Issue 9 (via the Knowledge Base) for further information on more rigourous spreadsheet emulation techniques - many of thse principles are extensible to bound windows as well as to collectors.

And here I thought you'd be grateful for the free publicity!
