I'm running RDS 4.10.UC1 on a sparc, and I've just conducted a little experiment: I find that the behavior hasn't changed: you still end up on the wrong row. The only way I know to avoid this is to use the "NEXT FIELD to NOENTRY" trick. Does anyone see any other behavior in 4.1? Or know any less baroque workaround? -- Harry Bochner bochner@das.harvard.edu
