Margaret,

BTW, CSelect does not restore RECNO(), so you'll have to keep track of that.

>What Vic told me on the phone (thanks, Vic) was that Kevin has a class to do this . . . . (YEAH, Kevin). . . Info below . . .

>The CSelect Class
>Class: CSelect
>Library: CUtils.vcx
>
>This class provides an object-oriented way to select a work area and automatically switch back to the previously selected work area. For instance, look at the following sample call:
>
>LOCAL loSelect
>loSelect = CREATEOBJ('CSelect', 'v_Users')
>
>This command creates an instance of the CSelect class and passes the 'v_Users' string to CSelect.Init(). CSelect saves the currently selected work area to its nOldArea property, then selects the 'v_Users' alias.......(see manual for the rest of the information).
