I think the INIT method would be too late - you could try it. I've only had success using it PRIOR to the DO FORM. I think you'ld have to try in the DE Events (?beforeOpenTables?, opentables?). As I stated, I think the secret is to avoid jumping out of the routine that throws the error.

Sorry I can't help further
