>>I have a system running that uses data stored in a Misc_Table table. The user is presented with choices from various combo boxes loaded with data mainintained in this table. I use various index tags depending on the combo of interest - County, Intake Reason, ... I have developed a "RightClick" method that allows me to maintain the table on the fly from within other form. The right click calls a maintenance form and passes the appropriate information ie Add, Edit, General and what index .... The maintenance form is called using a PRIVATE data session ( I would like to keep it this way to preserve my sanity tracking who's on what ).

I have a requery in the rightclick method to update the combos on return.

Below is my response to Peter's suggestions it adds pertinant information.

I was able to do some more research on this after I sent my first letter. It seems to be something along the lines you are stating. I found some of my combos worked - refrencing the exact same maintenance form. So, I made every single property and method the same between one that did work and one that didn't - no effect. Then I changed the Read Only flag on my default data session ( your solution ). Some then worked but others still failed. I then examined the tables directly. Sure enough the data was there just not in the index and I noticed by cycling the Set deleted On/Off I could get the data to appear and disappear. Finaly I packed and or reindexed the files and the data appeared fine. I can't do this in the production environment as it requires exclusive access to the file which by definition I don't have.
A this point I am again stuck.

Thanks
Terry
