Paul,

>I click on the New() button to create a new record. Page two of the pageframe is activated to let me make my changes. Page two has a child object on it and has controls w/the controlsource bound to the primary business object's "InitialSelectedAlias" view.recordname . I fill some information in, then click to the next page tab. I get the error. >

Something is definitely awry here...First of all, let's establish a few things:

Is it your parent or child object that's getting the error? As you've discovered, Visual Foxpro will give you this error if you try to save an empty record. My question is this: Why are any records being saved at this point? If your child business object is the one getting the error, why and where is a blank record being added to the business object?

Regards,
Kevin
