show only browse

[Bruce Easton]

  Well you're trying way too hard to have 'fun' :)

Since you said in your original post that you wanted the user to be 
returned to the screen from which they hit the 9 key (in other words, 
not subsequently allowing change of record whilst staying on that new 
screen), then, therefore, hitherto, don't use 'switchto' for that 
purpose - just do this in your input table (and don't do anything in an 
auto table):

@key9
             Then: sn=9
             Then: display 9
             Then: lookup alias=file b=(ba&bb&bc)
             Then: show "@"
             Then: display (sn)
             Then: end

(where ba, bb and bc define some show-only browse format)
Note that here, you are taking over the 9 key, not letting filepro 
switch the screen for you.
