Re: Positioning cursor on a subfile record

[Bill Howie <blhowie66@xxxxxxxxx>]

John/Jeff,

The symptom is this:  I have a 3-record subfile.  I'm wanting to position
the cursor to record 2, because that's the record that the user was sitting
on and tried to do a function that we aren't allowing (in this case they
use F1 to try this function).   Doesn't seem to matter what I try, it
always positions the cursor to record 1.

It shouldn't matter that it's an output-only field that I'm trying to
position on should it?
