>Tommy, were you getting the error on use (add/edit)? Or on the creation of the initial INDEX? I thought you were getting it occasionally on the INDEX ON command itself.

The error would always occur on the line of code that would assign the value of 5 to 'status' of the new record in ss_io.

The record was created new by an APPEND BLANK, then values were assigned to various fields, then when we got to 'status',

BOOOM

everytime.

Thanks!
