Hello Bernd,
Your solution seemed much more elegant than mine, which was to cut and use
a named selection, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. The boolean
variable that I'm clicking on goes grey and nothing else changes. If I
click another window and come back the boolean and the rows do update.
Any ideas about what might be different?
I tried HIDE WINDOW / SHOW WINDOW which caused a flicker but not a redraw
as did HIDE PROCESS / SHOW PROCESS.
I also tried Open Window / CLOSE WINDOW... didn't work.
This does work with some side effects, especially if the user has scrolled
down...
CUT NAMED SELECTION(Current form table->;"tempNS")
USE NAMED SELECTION("tempNS")
HIGHLIGHT RECORDS
Thanks from North Carolina,
Alan Tilson
