What is the DataSession for the form (find this property in the Property sheet). Is it private or default?

If this is a private datasession, when do you open the Users table? In the form's Data Environment?

I used to prefer to open tables myself in the Load event of the form without using form's DE at all.

In other words, in form's Load event you may have

use Users in 0 alias Users shared && This command may easily fail in case the Users table is already opened exclusively or by some other reasons.

Also you may try to use Debugger. I don't know if Tamar's Granor session on the Debugger is available in some sort of a video, this would be beneficial to you...

UPDATE. How hard the old bad habits die! I need to learn how to spell "beneficial"...
