Refresh records

[shulbert@littlejohnfrazer.com]

markus,
you don't want to display the records again without finding them again: this is a really bad idea.
what you could do is make the find procedure not prompt for the values again.
try using temps to prompt for the key values, making them reset at startup.
use a flag to make the the procedure path code conditional.
off the top of my head:

<code>
screen scrap

temp t'key1 reset at startup

temp t'flag reset at startup

file afile
access via key1 using t'key1 request t'key1

field t'key1

procedure path
begin
  if t'flag = 0
  then begin
    ;<do default path processing>
    ...
    end
  end

procedure postfind
let t'flag = 1

procedure designer rset
begin
  let t'flag = 0
  push find
  end

build
</code>

i hope this helps,
regards,
stephen.

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
