USING VPLUS/V AN INTRO. TO FORMS DESIGN Self-Paced Training Guide

USE REFRESH IN BROWSE MODE 

In Browse mode, REFRESH can be used in the same manner as in Collect
mode, however, when pressed in Browse mode, REFRESH does not clear all
the data; it simply clears any changes typed over the original data.

Action 

Return to Collect mode by pressing COLLECT. Type data into Record #3, as
shown in Figure 4-18.  Press ENTER. Now press BROWSE to verify the data
entered in Record #3.

In Record #3, the original quantity of the ordered item is shown as 4.
You decide that this value should be 6.

Action 

Change the order quantity to 6 and change the Total Price field to 15.00
to correspond.  Do not press ENTER yet.

Now, looking over the order one final time, you realize that the quantity
really should be four.  Rather than changing the quantity back to 4 and
recalculating the total price, you can press REFRESH before pressing
ENTER to display the original version of Record #3.

Action 

Press REFRESH. Compare the data on your screen with Figure 4-18.

After you press REFRESH, the form contains the original values.  Since
you have not changed Record #3, it is not necessary to press ENTER. You
have completed this session.

Action 

Press EXIT.
