I think so. I usually open tables in the program that calls the form. But it sounds like that you have the solution. Open the tables manually.

Or maybe open them all nodataonload and then requery() them seperately. If you open them nodataonload, then you can set cursor properties easily, and then do your requery().

>The error message is genereated from standardform.dataenvironment.opentables. I take it that to use your solution I would need to overwrite that defualt function?
