You must have RowBuffering for your cursor, that is why when you move record pointr up or down you didn't get that error. Usually that error occurs when you try to refresh a buffered table (cursor, View, CA) and you didn't choose what you must do with changed records in current record set. So befere requery the View or CA use:

TableRevert(.t., [MyCursor]) && Or TableUpdate(1, .t., [MyCursor]) if you want to save changed records
REQUERY([MyCursor]) && or CAObject.CursorRefresh()
