Hi, Sarah
I haven't had much time to think about your problem. but since it's a hurry I thought I'd come with the first thought I came across, namely to delete the record in another fashion, the way I use to do. I never had any problems, so it might be worth a shot.

select entry
locate for entryid = m.lckeyvalue
delete 
	
select entrydet
locate for entryid = m.lckeyvalue
delete 

BTW, what version of Fox is it? Any referential integrity in the database that might prevent you from deleting. Is there any, and if "yes", what kind of relation between those tables?

Best regards
