Record being updated

[Rami Mantoura]

I already use the entsel process but I did what you suggested and it sort
of works.
The problem I have is that it only works the first time on the record i am
on.

Here is the logic.
I use @key? and open a browse. I pick a record and zoom to the record in
the lookup. I finish the update and exit which then brings me back to the
browse window. At this point I would either exit out of browse window or
select another record.

The problem is if I either exit out of the browse or select another record
the @entsel does not occur again. Is there some kind of reset command I
could use to invoke the @entsel?

Thanks
