A couple of days ago I asked for some help on removing duplicates
from an array that would eventually be used in achoice(). Somebody
( sorry I forgot your name, thx for the tip ) asked me "why not just
create a unique index and dbedit() the sucker?" Why not indeed, works
like a champ.
However (there's always a "however", right) the user wants the
picklist to remain so they can select an item, have it process,
select another item, have it process, etc. In other words, I want
to do something like:
do while ! lastkey()=27
dbedit()
enddo
Words great with an achoice() array, dbedit() freaks. Can anyone
enlighten me?
Thanks in advance

Can anyone >enlighten me? I have been quite pleased with Clipper TBROWSE. I hear the 5.01 disks add a few features. TBROWSE involves a bit more setup (see tbdemo.prg) but it much more under your control. i.e. any keypress, etc can be detected so you can perform the proper action.
