SET STEP ON in AfterNew testing for the cWorkArea == "New Job Detail" (replace "New Job Detail" with the correct cursorname in VFP Proper case).

See whether you get as far as AfterNew before your error occurs.

>s there something else I can try? Also, it is ok for a child form to call a child form? It sort of acts like the workarea needs to be selected. This is just a feeling I have. I do know the areadetail table is found in the cde I am using. I did check that.

>>Hi Terry,

>>Can you post the whole call stack when the error occurs. This will likely shed more light on the matter than the error message you posted below.

>>>I have a parent-child-grand child situation. It is a customer-job-jobdetail arrangement. I can select a customer and create a new job and save the information. I select a job and select New Job Detail using a cmdtoolactionbuttonnew with cworkarea set to areadetail(name of table) I get the following error.
>>>
>>>Program Error
>>>Function, Argument Value, Type or Count is invalid.
>>>
>>>I tried to set step on but I can not find the error. I also am calling the grand child form from a frmdatachildcustom form with the following in the click event of the new button.
>>>
>>>dodefault()
>>>thisform.openchild('frmpaintjobchild.scx')
>>>
>>>Any ideas??? TIA.
