Hi John,

The highlighted record is put to the user set presumably you can then  
Use Set("UserSet") to make that record the current record?

Something like this for a delete button on the form

Case of
        : (Form event=On Clicked )
               
                   `TRACE
                CREATE SET([Time Records];"Current Selection") `put current  
selection to set for later use
                USE SET("UserSet")
                DELETE RECORD([Time Records])
                USE SET("Current Selection")      `return selection for continued use
               
               
End case

Hope that helps.

Regards,



Chris Stanton
