1) If a table is open in the data environment, do I need to open it anywhere in my code? If I don't have a use filenmame before a seek I get a message saying no table is open.

2) I then do a seek & copy some records to another table. Then I do a use newtable and index that table. The index doesn't seem to work. Do I have 2 open tables but the one I named in use is the active table?

3) I want to then display some data on the screen & allow the user to page up, page down, and then escape. I don't want the user to be able to edit, add or delete records. Is this a BROWSE or a grid? I'm coming from a DOS background & may be thinking DOS. Basically I want a report to the screen for certain entered parameters (date range being one).

Thanks.
