I try to get the records of a table in a specific order.
So Setcurrentkey could help me do this.
There is a key defined in NAV but I do not know what to give to the SetCurrentkey as parameter.
1st parameter is the table, but the second is the key. But what shoukd be the value of the key. Must this bey the fieldnumber of the field on which the key in NAV is defined or the field number of the field in the overview of the keys.

example: If I look at the keys on a specific tabel there are for example 3 keys:
No.
Country
City

If I want city do I use 3 as Key value or do I use CF.FieldNo(Table, "City") as valu of the parameter Key.

I tried both ways but the records are not returned sorted as I want to.

    you should read the application developer guide before programming nav...
    to answer your questio, press F1 in the C/AL designer and search "setcurrentkey"..you'll obtain the syntax.

    It is not in NAV that I do this , it is in Microsoft office Word using VBA and the C/Front OCX. So the help of C/AL will not help me in this case.

    Are you sure F1 covers C/FRONT?

    i didn't read the title of the topic... :whistle: :oops:
    it was strange, as i've seen that carlo joined mibuso in 2003...sorry.
    P.S.: i've no experience with c/front, but i think you have to pass the table and the "cardinal" number of the key (i don't know if it starts from 0 or 1). About your example, if you want to use "city" key i think you have to pass (table,3(or 2))

    I tried 3 already but no result. I tried 2 now but still no change in the sorting of the result.


    Someone else who has experience with this.

    From the help I see that C/Front SetCurrentKey accepts an array with the key fields:

    From the help file:
    Syntax
Function SetCurrentKey(ByVal hTable As Long, ByVal Key As Variant) As Boolean
hTable
The handle to the table.
Key
The desired key or an empty variant.
Example
  CF1.OpenTable hTable, 18 ' customer table
  longArray(0) = 1 ' field: "No."
  longArray(1) = 3 ' field: "Search Name"
  longArray(2) = 0
  tmpVar = longArray
  tmpVar2 = CF1.SetCurrentKey(hTable, tmpVar)
  If VarType(tmpVar2) <> vbBoolean Then
  logWr "SetCurrentKey failed. It didn't return a boolean"
  End If
  CF1.CloseTable hTable
