Hi Mike

>I checked the AutoOpenTables and it is fine (unchanged). I should correct myself on the last message. My error message is no open tables in current work area. If I suspend the program and check my data session, only one table (my parent table) is open. None of my other tables or views are opening. Sorry to be a bother. Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Hmm, very strange.

OK, on which line is the error happening ? Anything funny in the table indexes [such as references to other tables which may not be open ?

Also, look for table commands such as go top, skip etc. which require that a table is open in the currently selected area.

Best.

Matt.
