>Hello all
>I am get the error mentioned in the title, but NOT if I issue a browse on the table before the offending statements that generate the error. The browse solves the problem. What is puzzling is that I am not using a cursor, it is a table. Setting buffering to 5 and issuing a tableUpdate()does not help. Any ideas

Vince,
Tableupdate has a few parameters you can use,
In the code you posted I am not sure what is the curent alias, so try this:

SET MULTILOCKS ON  && Must turn on for table buffering.
=CURSORSETPROP('Buffering', 5, 'poItems' )  && Enable table buffering
TABLEUPDATE(1,.t.,'poItems')
