Obviously, it hints that something wrong with view: it can have only row or table optimistic buffering and for some reason it changed to wrong value. If you cannot open form in Form designer then you should open scx file manually, go to record #5 and look at all field contents manually until you will find and correct suspicious place. Make backup first!
