>I am working in the detail area of an invoice module. I have three tables I am working with: InvHead, InvDetail, and Inventory. InvHead is related to InvDetail by InvNo; InvDetail is related to Inventory by PartNo. (Sound familiar??) The invoice head to invoice detail is working OK, but I can't get the part # to behave:

John, check the relations set in the DataEnvironment (and in other places like LOAD() ). If you are using Inventory as a lookup-file for PartNo and Part Desc., then you might want to load them as read-only. If you don't set ANY relations, then the SEEK should work. Also, since Inventory isn't changing, your buffer flushing should have no effect. Sounds like the pointer on InvHead or InvItem is moving.
