Some Sort of Control From The Browse Screen

[Rkreiss@verizon.net]]

The only way, as I see it, is to create the browse fron another file.

Everything can the be handled from there including using a sysem call to access the highlighted record.

A lot more programming but will give the result wanted.

I'm afraid, while this is helpful from Bob, it doesn't work *only* when you do it from the IUA browse.  This is simply a when entering field 1 trigger  It has no way of knowing that you came from the browse... Or from another field, or from @keyU.  Well, you could trap a variable in the @keyU process, but still it would not discriminate whether you are pressing "U" at @entsel or from the browse.

I don't think you can do what you want to do. I think Ken or Ron would have piped up if it was possible.

You can delineate/discriminate between @keyU and @update but that's about it.
