Peter, you were very clear on what you're doing - thanks. Since everything is set up correctly, I'm assuming the Wizard buttons are resetting the index internally. Did you try to step through the code with the debugger?

First load the form and check with the debugger to see if your index is still set to logdate. If so, then click on the Next/Previous and check again. You may have to step through the Wizard code completely to see if it changes the index order.

Also, look at your grid and at the same data in a browse table to see what the order is. Primary ID (if there is one)? Record order? Etc.....

>In the DE I have a file called LOG. Log has a date field in it that I want sorted in date order. There are also 4 other files that have a relationship to LOG via a unique ID # in each file listed in the LOG file (clientid, employeeid, firmid, codeid). The relationship is so the displayed combos show the descriptive as opposed to just the number. In the DE I have the LOG file .ORDER property set for LOGDATE which is an index on the LOG file.

The only "catch-22" to this is that I am using a copy of the VFP Wizard TextButtons database control class in my form. Currently it is NOT modifed from the VFP Wizard standard - no additional changes effecting NEXT/PREV.
