	Always return the next instance after, but not including, the queried value, or the end of view indicator (null?).

	I can't say for sure, but there's nothing inherently wrong with this.  GET and GETNEXT should not cause any changes to the system state for this reason.

	I don't know - a little help from the list, please?

	No.  Only return the exact instance asked for, and only if it exists.


	HTH,

Mike
