J. Luis came up with the solution to the problem I've been struggle with all day. The correct routine should be:

on error do err_rtn
use xxx
on error
if err_flg
RETURN .F.
endif

I didn't know that returning a '.F.' in an event stops the form. Marc, Dave, Arnon all helped with my understanding of the problem. Big thanks to all.
