SetRange not doing what I expect

[Dick Mathews]

I am using D5, BDE5 and Paradox tables. I am trying to use SetRange to
apply a range to the tables. It works fine the first time, but each time
thereafter it does not clear the previous range. It includes the
previous value along with the new set. I have tried to Cancel and
Refresh the range, but that does not work either.

The help file tells me the following:

1 Puts the dataset into dsSetKey state.
2 Erases any previously specified starting range values and ending range
values.
3 Sets the start and end range values.
4 Applies the range to the dataset.

So if I am understanding this correctly, the new call to SetRange should
clear the previous values. What am I missing?

it's much easier to respond to your question, if we can see code examples..
otherwise, we're just guessing..

Opps. Dummy me. I failed to consider it was the list that was not clearing.

Sorry about that.
Thanks anyway,
Dick
