Very good! More steps in the right direction.

My tables are indexed, but not related to other tables, and the problem does occur (somehow) with the Activate.

Most curiously, this is occurring on three of the five pages in the pageframe (pages 3-5). The form remembers which page was active when it closes, and then activates that page when it starts. The problem only occurs when it is resuming on page 2 ... and then it happens all the time.

And, of course, I can see no obvious connection between pages 3-5 with page 2 -- nor can I see why starting on page 1 doesn't have the same effect.

I will let you know should Ilearn more.
