  • Q. I modified the structure of my database, but when I use the 

           BROWSE command on the file, I don't see the changes. How can I
       correct this problem?


        A. If you cannot see your changes, you are most likely using the
       BROWSE command from the System menu or the View window, or you
       are issuing a BROWSE LAST or BROWSE PREFERENCE command from the
       Command window. To see these structural changes, you must first
       issue a plain BROWSE command from the Command window to display
       the new default version of the database.

  • Q. When I press the CTRL+N shortcut key combination in my program 

           to append a new record in the Browse window, I get the musical
       note instead. How can I correct this problem?


        A. CTRL+N is a shortcut key combination associated with the System
       menu. In your program, you need to issue the command SET SYS-
       MENU ON and/or use a BROWSE command instead of the BROWSE NO-
       MENU command.
