may appear to change.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around the problem, use the following code:

     CLOSE ALL
     USE clients
     SET ORDER TO Client_id
     ON KEY LABEL F4 DO f4_key
     ON KEY LABEL F5 DO f5_key
     BROWSE NOEDIT
     ON KEY
     CLOSE ALL

     PROCEDURE f4_key
     SET ORDER TO 0
     SHOW WINDOW clients REFRESH
     GO RECNO()

     PROCEDURE f5_key
     SET ORDER TO 0
     SHOW WINDOW clients REFRESH
     GO RECNO()

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0b
for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Use the following code to generate the BROWSE:

     close all
     use clients
     set order to Client_id
     on key label f4 do f4_key
     on key label f5 do f5_key
     browse noedit
     on key
     close all

     procedure f4_key
     set order to 0
     show window clients refresh
     *go recno()

     procedure f5_key
     set order to 0
     show window clients refresh
     *go recno()

2. Use the arrow keys to move to the 'Advantage Computer School' record.

3. Press the F4 key to see the current record change to the 'Big Masters'
  record.

NOTE: The Clients table is not included with Visual FoxPro 3.0 but the behavior
can be reproduced and corrected using the same techniques as described above, on
the Customer table with an index on the cust_id or customer_id field.
