>>>I have a form which use the data environment and AutoOpen is .T. and the form has data bound controls. If another users opens a table(s) contained in the DE of my form exclusively my form will not function. The problem is how do I trap this condition. I have reviewed the error event within the DE without success. I need a quick fix since I have many forms setup with the DE and AutoOpen=.T.. Please point me in the right direction if there is one. tia steve

Yes, you can reset ON ERROR in any place after DE. Surely, matured App will have more sophisticated error handler. I just tried to give an idea.
