>I understand....OK, how about code in Cursor.Error event? Should encapsulate the error into the specific cursor?

That's a good idea, but since cursors can't be subclassed visually, in a visual DE, this code would have to go in every single cursor. I'm afraid I'm not up to that.

I think I will be checking out how VFE implements subclassed DEs in 6.0. Mike Feltman mentioned that they have managed to do it without giving up the visual DE. Thanks again.
