I think if I saw any one of these variations on "correct data" I could figure out how to do the others but my instinctive answer would be the previous record (or the new first record if the first record were the one deleted.) My first go at this isn't fussy; I just "know" that leaving a record displayed that isn't in the database any more is probably "wrong". (I haven't even looked at sorting the records yet.)

Thanks much for helping this newby to dbs.

What constitutes "the correct data" to display after the deletion? Empty fields? Previous record? Next record? In some sort of sort sequence?

Once you can define that, I think writing a bit of Transcript to give you what you want is pretty easy but there's no sort of de facto rule about what the display should show after a record is deleted.

As long as we are talking about mySQL, is there a way to programatically refresh a database query? I have a master/detail form which includes a button to delete the currently selected record and this works fine insofar as it deletes the record from the database but the fields and table all still show the record I just deleted. I can "manually" refresh using a button tied to the refresh SQL action but I would like to force the refresh upon deletion of the record. I can't find a transcript command which will force the tied fields to show the correct data without the additional user action of clicking another button.
