In Visual Fox the the forms code and behavior are stored in tables. So try that: use your_forname.scx browse Look at the table structure and field name , find for the OBJNAME column, go to record 12 edit the memo , You will see the control name caused the error message . Remember to close the your_forname.scx file before you reload or edit it in the form editor with a USE command. I hope this will help You. Paolo
