That worked!  Any idea why it worked when done outside the guide but not in the 
guide?

Thanks,
Lyle

I would suggest NOT setting the table to the correct row while inside the 
guide.  Set a temp field with the correct row number and after the guide 
finishes set the table to the row.

Subject: Selecting a row in a table with an AL

**
Hi All,

ARS 7.1 P6

I have a situation where I need to programmatically select a row in a table.  
Based on what I've read, I should be able to do it, and I've written the code 
that I think should do it, but it's not doing it.

Basically, I have a display-only form with a table at the top that shows 
records the user can edit; the list is filtered based on the value of a couple 
selection fields.  If they select a record, is populates the area below the 
table, where the user can make and save changes.  Depending on the changes 
made, the contents of the table need to be updated to reflect the change in the 
record (or to display a newly created record).  So, I've got a situation where, 
when I save the record, in some cases I refresh the table (clearing the 
selection, if there was one), and then I walk the table to see if the current 
record is present in it, and then select it, so it's highlighted.  What I have 
is more or less like this:

ALG - Save Record
                AL - Push Record to Regular Form
                AL - Refresh Table if Necessary
                AL - Reselect Record

The Reselect Record AL simply loops over the table, incrementing a row counter 
along the way, and once it finds the matching row, it sets the row number to 
the table, something like this:

AL - Reselect Record
                Set Row Counter to 1
                Call Guide: Reselect Record

ALG - Reselect Record
AL - Select Current Record
AL - Increment Row Counter

AL - Select Current Row
Run If: 'Request ID Col' = 'Request ID'
Set Fields:
                Table = -$Row Count$ (Select the current row, but don't fire 
workflow)
Exit Guide

So, when I do active link logging, I can see it iterating over the table, 
finding the record and then setting the table to, say, -2, but the row in the 
table doesn't appear to get selected.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help,
Lyle Taylor
