Rather than using Go lnRecNo I've used locate for recno()=lnRecNo and that seems to work.

>Doesn't work either.... I checked RECNO before and after FILTER call with the "current" record NOT being in the new filter set - RECNO() does not change.

>>>The problem is... if the record I want to have "current" IS in the set, I need to GOTO that record. If it is NOT in the set, I need to go to either TOP or the closest record. I can't figure out, other than doing a search through the set, how to get an error flag so I know where to go.

>>>>>I have a METHOD that controls the "highlight" of the current record and this is where the problem is very noticeable. I was storing the current RECNO() and then issuing the FILTER change. Then I was using a GO vStoredRecNo to highlight the "current" record. This worked fine when I was on a displayable record when the filter was changed. The GO appears to operate fine when it is not, but the "current" rec is not there so therefore nothing is highlighted.
