The following example shows the results when the browse is looking at a set composed of five different tables.

ptr = browse.view("Invoice")
? ptr.Selected_Records()
= 1 55 1 31 5
1 55 2 9 2
1 55 3 59 6
1 55 4 34 4
1 55 100 103 2
2 6 5 37 2

3 4 9 5 6
3 4 107 112 6
3 4 109 6 4
4 5 10 6 4

Now, restrict the query to just the parent table in the set.

dim ptr as P
ptr = browse.view("Invoice")
? ptr.Selected_Records(.t.)
= 1
