SYMPTOMS
In a child Browse window of a one-to-many relationship, the record pointer returns to the first record in the child table after the amount of time specified in the SET REFRESH value. This problem occurs only if SET REFRESH is greater than zero.

1. Enter the following lines of code in a .PRG file:

****Begin Program Example****

WAIT WINDOW "Please select the other browse, arrow down " + ; "once or twice" + chr(13) + "And watch... the record " + ; "pointer jumps to the top."

****End Program Example**** 2. Run the program and move to the second or third record in the child window using the DOWN ARROW key.
