Help, this is driving me crazy

| This 'problem' maybe very simple to solve, but I don't know the answer.
I have a grid. I also have a combination box that the user is allowed to choose for search.
I have it set to form.rowset.indexname = " what_ever_they_choos
e".
The index search works. The problem is if the user clicks on the grid to highlight and choose the record, this record is sorted to the top of the grid. How do I stop this from happening? I want the grid to stay where it is, and not jump around, confusing
the user.

Check your code to make sure you are not using a "form.rowset.first()"
after the index change.

That's weird because I don't have that coded like that. I think I know it's something to do with indexing, but what??

Changing the index doesn't automatically change the row pointer or do
any navigation, at least not in Plus. What version of dBASE are you
using? I seem to recall that in earlier versions of the 32-bit version
of dBASE this did occur when you changed the index, but I cannot recall
when it was changed so that navigation was not automatic.

Oh dear, this is not encouraging. I'm using Dbase Plus, 2.6...
My other forms do not behave this way. This only happens with this form. obviously there is something wrong in my coding that's making this happen. But I can't figure this out.
