sure. This is the lines of code, but I can see the problem from the debugger as soon as I get the form up:

	FOR m.nFld = 1 TO FCOUNT()  && <----- is where it returns 2 and I know the table only has 1 field
        	IF TYPE(FIELD(m.nFld)) = "G"	&&skip for General fields
			LOOP					
		ENDIF
		IF OLDVAL(FIELD(m.nFld)) # CURVAL(FIELD(m.nFld))
			m.lHadMessage = .T.
			IF MESSAGEBOX(E_DIRTYREC_LOC,4+48) = MSGBOX_YES
