I've been there too. I added AGAIN to the use and it all worked perfectly.

>Yeah, I know that's better, but it's not always easy to know what alias to look for. I'm looking at modifying a generic open file routine that's giving me trouble and I'm thinking it might be easiest to just add "AGAIN" if I can figure out where in the mess of code it's actually opening the file. Since it's a generic routine, though, I didn't want to cause a mess of problems by using it where it's not necessary.

>>AFAIK it's ok to use the AGAIN clause. I would personally use something like this:
>>

>>llUsedCustomer=Used('customer')
>>If Not llUsedCustomer
>>    Use Customer In 0
>>Endif
>>... program code
>>If Not llUsedCustomer And Used('customer')
>>    Use In Customer
>>Endif
>>

>>Much more organised.
