Hi,

>Hi all! I have been happily coding when all of a sudden I have encountered the error 2072. It occurs when changing a field value using a dropdown list box. The control is populated with a cursor created in the form's load. The control is bound to column 2 of the cursor (KV) and displays column 1. Browsing through the table works as expected, but try to add or edit and wham.

>The form used is my standard data entry form I have been using and improving over the years. I must have "improved it" beyond my scope of experince yesterday because now I get the error. I understand error 2072 is a VFP9 fix to a dangerous situation previously allowed in earlier VFP versions.
