Thanks for your response,
As I indicated the file being the browse is looking as had to records and everything appears when I run the browse programming in my test file using @keyT to activate the browse.
I haver used this type of programming before and ac should take on the value indicated as I have used AA,AB, & Ac in multiple browses in one program. I have also used Ba BB, and BC to do this same thing. I have a feeling that the issue is being caused by filePro not allocating enough memory to this processing as This is the same processing that causes me to have difficulty with long variables not accepting assignments until I commented out or deleted long variables that were not being used in this processing table. Once removed the new long variables were able accept assignment. This indicates a filePro issue and not a programming issue ( it may be in that the processing has hit a limit as to what filePro can handle which is not documented anywhere. I have been at this a long time and never had an issue like reaching the limit of what a process table can handle.
The only thing support Fp Tech support offered was the environmental variable to change the number of labels that filePro could handle in a processing table. I have to wonder if that also would have changed the number of long variables that the process could handle to solve the issue I am currently having with this browse lookup. As I do not need this browse for production, I can removed it form my programming without an issue but I would still like to know why the browse window comes up but not records are displayed when there are so few record to display and only and 1 key option "S" to select the desired value for the line that is highlighted.
