Note for v4.0c and up users:
This works great as long as you start with your cursor in the Principal2
field. The macro doesn't seem to be able to figure out how to skip the
roles. Confused the heck out of me after I converted to v4.0c until I
figured out what was wrong with my macro. There is no way to get it to
fill in Principal1 that I've been able to find. Has anyone else found a
way around this?
