{| = PRB: SET ORDER TO Does Not Move Record Pointer to Top of File =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q88235

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS
When a SET ORDER TO statement is issued, the record pointer defaults neither to the first record in the index nor to the top of the file.

RESOLUTION
To sequentially step through an indexed database after issuing a SET ORDER TO command, use the GO TOP statement before executing the command.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
1. BROWSE an indexed database, then specify an index.

2. Highlight the fifth record in the database and exit BROWSE.

3. From the Command window, issue the SET ORDER TO command.

4. BROWSE the database again.

At this point, the record selected in step 2 above remains highlighted. The record pointer is not reset to reflect the index. Additional reference words: FoxDos FoxWin 2.00 2.50 2.50a KBCategory: kbprg kbprb KBSubcategory: FxprgBrowse
