Joe I just set up a very simple example to confirm behaviour and is as expected.
If the second form always comes up on the first record then something must be changing the record pointer. I'd put a breakpoint in the button / code where you launch the 2nd form and watch for a change in recno(<alias>) and see what the culprit is. -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Joe Yoder Sent: Monday, 29 February 2016 2:59 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: How to allow multiple forms to update the same record pointer in a table That all makes sense. I added wait window alias() and wait window select() statements in debug buttons on the forms. They all agree that the same table is selected in the same work area but the detail always comes up on record one and the calling form refreshes back to the same record it was on when the detail form was called. What else could I be overlooking?
