>I have seen this message. It seems to me that I had it in the same sort of situation. If I remember correctly it is caused by 'writing to a location off the screen'. Check anything that is doing a print(?,??), try an eliminate these and see if the problem stops. Worked for me. Hope this helps.

ahh, maybe??????

maybe when I say

set talk on
select * from ......
clear
set talk off

Maybe the "Selected 1 record in 1.2 seconds" could be off the screen?

does this sound like a possibility
