>>>I was trying to close my open tables, including a view and base table and am getting the following error message all of the sudden:
>>>
>>>"No key columns are specified for the update table "ird!person". Use the keyfieldlist property of the cursor"

>>>The help key is no help and I can't close my tables, views or even VFP (v5.0). I'm stuck. Anyone know what this means or how to correct it?
