RE: generic file display program was: (no subject)

>Buck, in a similar situation I have defined a Hidden field on the Subfile

I agree that this is a valuable technique; have the caller store the
"select" statement in a hidden field so you can get back to the detail
record.  But this seems to imply that one can't readily retrieve a group of
associated records like all the detail lines on an invoice.  I can get at
the I/O buffer readily enough, but the relationships between header & detail
aren't necessarily captured in the database cross reference.  Given that, I
don't see how the generic retriever can identify the key value of a given
record in a group.  This is all too theoretical; perhaps I just need a real
example to work with.
