The actual code is quite long and complicated (one method calling another, then another, and so on). But I do have very clearly a statement that SELECTs a cursor and then I am testing in the SCAN/ENDSCAN which cursor is being scanned. And if I put the BROWSE command after selecting the cursor things are screwed up. Strange thing is that BROWSE shows records of the selected cursor but the caption of the browse window shows a name of another cursor (not currenly selected). Commenting BROWSE solves the problem. Good thing that the BROWSE is only a test code so it won't affect the program.
