Oleta, In R:Base, you can declare a Scrollable Cursor (see the command help for DECLARE CURSOR and for FETCH), that can be used to move a requested number of rows forward or back through a table. That's a fair approximation of the "record pointer" concept in non-relational databases like FoxPro or dBase. However, in 6.5++ it would be tricky to use that within a form. (In R:Base 7.0, there is a form control that gives you those VCR buttons, though. The price of an upgrade is probably less than the cost of a couple days of your time programming a solution to look like what you want.) Bill
