Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck. However, by process of elimination I was able to determine which record in the .SCX was causing the problem. Within that record (for a textbox), in the PROPERTIES field, there was an entry for "Comment" consisting only of a carriage return (how it got there I'll never know). I deleted that, and evertyhing was hunky-dory. Sheesh, VFP is sensitive.

>>Suddenly, a form I was working on in VFP 5.0a can no longer be modified in the form designer, or run. When I try to do either, I get an 'internal consistency error' and then VFP crashes. I can USE the .SCX file, and the structure appears to be okay. Neither cold-booting nor PACKing the .SCX changed anything. My other forms are all okay. Any ideas, or do I start from scratch? Thanks!
