display current data on form

[Sandy Blondino]

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with a custom session. I made a custom table, and this session is a maintenance session for the table. The problem is when I search for a particular record on the form, the form fields do not automatically populate even though the record does exist. Once I tab through the fields, they do populate.
Also, when I switch to the next form, the screen (and both forms) no longer shows the current record. All fields blank out.

Does anyone have any tips in this situation?
Thanks for any help,
Sandy

U may not get the same record in search if u do not have all index fields on forms and fields not present on form may have some unexpected value at search time yielding unexpected result.

Further when u switch between forms , u should use save.rcd.main and restore.rcd.main in after.form and before.form selections . Search these functions in this board to get more details.
