Selecting the current record

In Browse mode, a database has one active record at a time for each open window.

To select a record in Form View:

• In Form View, the record you're displaying is the current record. To select another record to make it the current record, see Moving through records.

To select a record in List View:

• In List View, the current record has a different fill from the other records. To select another record and make it the current record, click that record or use controls in the status toolbar (see Moving through records).

  For information on changing the current record's appearance, see Specifying the display state for an object. The current record can also be indicated by a solid vertical bar along the left side (see Setting up form, list, and table views for a layout).

To select a record in Table View:

• In Table View, the margin to the left of the current record is highlighted. To select another record and make it the current record, click that record or use controls in the status toolbar (see Moving through records).

To select a record in a portal:

• Select the portal row (click inside the row but outside any fields in the row).
