Maybe lnrec is zero when the failure/error occurs? Do you have an index on the cursor? If so, is it indexed on recno()? If so, get rid of that index. An out-of-range error should not happen even if the lnrec is less than 0.

Anyway, after the ENDSCAN, try this instead:

if lnrec <> 0
   goto lnrec
else
   locate
endif

If that still gives you a problem, try:

local lcOldError, llFindError
lcOldError = on('error')
llFindError = .f.
on error llFindError = .t.
if lnrec <> 0
   goto lnrec
else
   locate
endif
on error &lcOldError
if llFindError or eof()
   locate
endif
