>When I delete a record that returns a ligitimate "Trigger Failed" and then select another record (that I'm sure is "OK" to delete), and delete, AERROR returns the error from the first delete. How do I clear AERROR after the first delete?

AERROR is supposed to report information from the last error. If you don't have another error, the information won't be cleared. Instead of just checking AERROR, you need to do some checking to see that an error occured.
