SYMPTOM(s):
Apparent problem with record buffers.
Multiple buffers appear to share the same memory space?
WindowA finds a record and displays a field and runs WindowB. WindowB uses another buffer for the same table and finds and updates the same record. WindowA displays the same value without doing a new find.
CAUSE:
The buffers do not share the memory space, but the record they point to is always the same. Progress never allows more than one copy of a record to be in memory at the same time. Sometimes it may seem that way, if you have an unrefreshed viewer or browser, but in reality there is only one copy.
FIX:
Expected behavior as explained in the cause section of this solution. For an explicit demonstration of the situation follow the instructions in the attached note section.
