Refresh records

[Deskin, Bob]

Now I see. You don't mind the re-retrieval but you want it to be transparent
to the user. It seems to me that if you've been able to initially retrieve
the record and pass enough information to QTP so that it can retrieve and
update the correct record, that you have the data available to get the right
record. If you save it away in temps and PUSH FIND after the QTP update,
then all you need to do is ensure that QUICK uses the temps as the index or
selection source rather than prompting the user.

This might take some playing in the PATH and FIND procedure or changing
USING values. You probably need a flag that says you're re-retrieving rather
than retrieving based on the user's input. I've done this sort of thing but
the actual code depends on the requirements.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Bob and  Joe,

ok, I'll try it the other way round:
After having found my record by entering 3 values and doing an update in a
QTP,
I'm looking for a way to refresh the data WITHOUT doing my FIND again. I
don't
mind to enter F or to start another designer procedure, but I don't want to
enter the same search values again, just ... a refresh of the data in
Quick's
buffer and display them (like, say, in Access, Ctrl-F9 ... ok, it's a bad
example, but you get the picture).
I don't know for example if I can do something with the MISSING and
DISPLAYED
parameters in the FOR construct. If it's not possible: it would be a nice
feature (Bob, Conrad, Carol, Christina, Allison et. all.)

Kind regards,
Markus
