>No sir, maybe I didn't word myself properly. I'm not working in the DD. I'm working on a form that a user will use to populate a field, which in turn populates a combo box on another form. I'm entering test values in the form, and when I go back to browse, select records to delete, and pack - I get this error. That got me to thinking that when the form is closed, I want unused records to go away. Seeing this error makes me think something is opened that should have closed - and cleared appended blank records.


Jimmy,

PACK is another command that won't work in table buffered mode. You ahve to change the buffering to record, do your pack, and change it back again.
