I don't think your problem has anything to do with your type of error-trapping. With that error "Structural CDX not found", the default options are Ignore and Cancel. If you Ignore, VFP "forgets" that the table ever had a CDX and all tags are gone. That table will not cause the error to reoccur (unless new index tags are added). So, unlike most other errors, hitting Ignore actually does something: It wipes out the reference to the CDX and the table will not error again. The resolution involves "hard trapping" of that error --- either force a rebuild of the CDX -or- cancel the table opening.

The only problem is that when I invoke ON ERROR DO FORM I get an error that does not occur with just ON ERROR. This happens when I try to use a table that does not have an attached CDX. I get an error 'Structural CDX Not Found'. This error DOES NOT occur if I just have ON ERROR as the default. Am I missing something here?
