BROWSE command on the file, I don't see the changes. How can I      correct this problem?

A. If you cannot see your changes, you are most likely using the BROWSE command from the System menu or the View window, or you are issuing a BROWSE LAST or BROWSE PREFERENCE command from the Command window. To see these structural changes, you must first issue a plain BROWSE command from the Command window to display the new default version of the database. 2. Q. When I press the CTRL+N shortcut key combination in my program

to append a new record in the Browse window, I get the musical note instead. How can I correct this problem?

A. CTRL+N is a shortcut key combination associated with the System menu. In your program, you need to issue the command SET SYS- MENU ON and/or use a BROWSE command instead of the BROWSE NO- MENU command.
