Hi Barabara,

Thanks for responding.

I believe the fact that the program runs properly from the project would probably suggest that the correct file was selected. I did, however, trace it to verify this.

This program uses the Wizstyle.vcx (buttonset) control and appears to hang up in the updaterows event. I cannot issue a Set Step On in the .exe as it would give me the "Feature Not Available" error message. I don't know where to go from here. The program has always run properly and I made no changes that would have affected the buffering schema.

Any other ideas?

TIA

Barry
