>I have a weird situation in which my program runs fine from the project, yet I get a 1596 error "Table buffering not enabled" message when running the .exe. The code in this routine is as follows:
>
>set multilocks on
>lSuccess=CURSORSETPROP("Buffering", 5, "selhdr")
>IF lSuccess = .T.
>
>ELSE
> =MESSAGEBOX("Buffering NOT successful!",0,"Operation Status")
>ENDIF
>lSuccess=CURSORSETPROP("Buffering", 5, "seldetail")
>IF lSuccess = .T.
>
>ELSE
> =MESSAGEBOX("Buffering NOT successful!",0,"Operation Status")
>ENDIF
>
>dodefault()

>THe error message states "You have attempted to use the GETNEXTMODIFIED( ) function, which requires table buffering to be enabled.
>Enable table buffering or use a different function."
