Hi Brenda,
Well, in my experimenting, it looks like GOTO does move the record pointer to the record, regardless of any filter, and I can reference and modify the fields on that record. However, any movement command, such as SKIP will behave according to the filter.
HTH!

>I set a filter on the current workarea. Then a "GO 1". Well, record 1 did not satisfy the filter condition. Did the record pointer move to record 1? Will any table.field references, reference the fields in record 1?
