[Fwd: Question]

[John Esak]

I'm not sure, but I found a bug with pkeep that meant you had to start the
initial key lookup for the browse with a "1" instead of a "" on a numeric
code.... the pkeep would always return to tht top if "" was used... However,
you sound like you are re-excuting the browse with a different value stuffed
into a new key and that won't help here.... not sure...
