Par2: Retaining row after auto inc add (SQL)
2004-12-09 -- Andre Englebrecht
 
My sincere thanks to Bruce & Leslie from CapeSoft and Eric Churton. Once 
again they came to my rescue

Details of the problem and solution may be of value to someone ...

Problem

An insert into the standard .tps browse returns and highlights the new 
record.
If the file-driver is sql with an autoincrementing primary key (eg RecordNo) 
on the sql back-end, an insert into an abc template generated browse returns 
and highlights the last row

Solution

In Global Properties/Classes/Browser, select BrowseClass.
Select Configure.
Set Retain Row (ON)

[It appears that the switch defaults to ON for ISAM and System files, but 
OFF for Sql files]

In the Update Window of the browse, WindowManager/TakeCompleted, Fetch the 
record by a key other than the auto-incremented key
