The project I am working on needs a form with a pageframe. The first page needs to have a list
of the "names" from a file and a display area that shows "detail" from the current record. When
the user needs to edit or add info, they go to page 2 and make changes there.
I thought I'd use a listbox on the first page. I got this to work by using a recordsource of 6-fields,
but the list needed to be sorted alphabetically. I ended up switching it to SQL and using...
select name, apmasid from apmas into cursor curLstRec order by name
in the record source. When I did this, of course I lost the feature of keeping the highlighted
record current. I have tried to use a InterActive change to seek or indexseek the apmas file
based on the unique apmasid. This is giving me erratic information and jumps at best. I also
tried setting the Bound to True and binding it to the apmasid and column 2. That is also erratic
Seeing the simplicity of the listbox is what I am looking for, isn't this the way to do it? What
am I missing (probably obvious 'cept to me). I thought about using a grid (I hate grids) but then
I have to program it so that the user can'tchange info in the grid, the current record highlights
entirely, etc. and I haven't even gotten into "orders" yet.
Thanks for any suggestions.
