No responses on the first question, so I will ask from a different 
perspective. 

Does anyone have an application where the user can go to a particular 
record and then move forward or backward from that point with the navigator 
bar or button eep's? 

If so, how are you accomplishing the task? 

Thanks,

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Search for record in form. 

I normally call up an Edit Form directly to the record to be edited, such as : 

Edit Using FormName Where Column = value 

However, while this method is fast, it only obtains one record and one cannot 
do a NEXT or PREV function. 

I have a requirement to pull up a form starting at record "X", but then be able 
to Next or Previous 
from that record using a Navigator bar. The table is an Item Master table and 
has only 
about 4000 rows. A small table. 

I have used the Property Table Search before, but in rare cases due to slow 
speed. 
However in this instance, I must have the ability to call up the form at Record 
X and 
then move back and forth in the record set. 
I must be implementing this function incorrectly as it is extremely slow. 

Below is the code I am using: 



cls 
--display a message 
pause 3 using 'Locating Record....Please wait!' + 
caption 'Item Master System' + 
option gauge_visible on| gauge_color blue|gauge_interval 10 




--Create command line 
SET VAR vSearchString TEXT = NULL 
SET VAR vSearchString = + 
('PROPERTY TABLE ItemMaster SEARCH->Item->'+.vItem) 

--conduct search 
&vSearchString 




I put the PAUSE message there to inform the user the computer is 

not locked up as this method often takes minutes to pull up the 

record. The column ITEM is an indexed record and in a single table form. 

This form displays fields in the form via direct field placement. No scrolling 

regions, grids or listviews can be used in this instance as the data will not 

be displayed in a tabular form and one record per "screen / page" will be 

displayed. 




I need to place this function in a "Go To Item" Button EEP as well, so the user 

can be at Item 100 and jump directly to Item 3500 and then have the ability to 

PREV / NEXT from that spot. I have seen this type of function in other programs 

and know RBase can do anything the others can! 




Any thoughts are appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Bob
