Steve,

Where does the error occur? I suspect that one of you controls is having fits binding to an unopened table.

1) Why not just drop the table into the DE? Free tables work in there too.

2) If you like typing code, move the code you have to the Form.Load() method that way the table will be there for the controls as the construct.
