In the Valid method for column-8 of the grid (the last column in the grid), I have it calling a method I created to add a new detail line. When I move to that detail line, I'm getting:

Sounds like the table is open in another datasession, and in that datasession either an explicit or implicit FLOCK() or RLOCK() is happening. Note that SET EXCLUSIVE, SET MULTILOCKS etc. are scoped to a datasession (i.e. not global).

Another possibility is if you've USEd < the table > AGAIN. Yet another is that a SELECT - SQL has opened the table unexpectedly.

Firing up the debugger can help in these cases.
