> Do you have anything in the Activate of the first page -or- bound controls (via ControlSource) -or- do you have SELECT code in the Command button -or- do you have a DataEnvironment in this form with no tables -or- do you have DataSession for this form set to Private?

John, i compaired the form to an older version that didn't have this problem and the only 'major' difference i see is the order the tables were opened by 'select'.
in what order does VFP open tables with select and can it be changed?
