That didn't make a difference, but if I close the crsRemarks cursor in the LOAD of the 2nd form (the one that I'm having trouble with), then it works ok. That causes another issue with the calling form as when I close the 2nd form, the cursor is not available and it crashes. The crsRemarks cursor is created in the LOAD of the first form. Can I close the 1st form then call it again when I leave the 2nd form? Seems odd that I might have to go through all this.
