A better solution may be to disable the next and last buttons when on the last record. You would run this code each time you move the record pointer.

lnRetRec = RECNO()
GO BOTTOM
lnLastRec = RECNO()
GO TOP
lnFirstRec = RECNO()
GOTO lnRetRec

DO CASE
CASE RECOUNT() <= 1
* No records or one record, disable all vcr buttons
CASE lnRetRec = lnLastRec
* At last record. Disable next and last. Enable first and previous.
CASE lnRetRec = lnFirstRec
* At first record. Disable previous and first. Enable next and last.
OTHERWISE
* In the middle somewhere. Enable all.
ENDCASE
