You are probably on track to the problem, but I don't want to go to the first record for a particular User_ID. All I want to do in mGoTop() is move the record pointer to the first record in the current table irregardless of any order. According to several articles in Fox Advisor on a SET FILTERED table issue LOCATE by itself instead of Go Top (much faster). I also get the error if I issue SKIP -1 or SKIP 1.
