Why do I get this error?

My Form Init code:
USE table1
SELECT table1
SCATTER NAME table1 MEMO

On the form itself I have numerous textboxes with ControlSource set to
m.table1.fieldname with "m.table1." preceding each fieldname in each textbox as a reference back to the table1 table.

I thought SCATTER table1 MEMO would automatically create an object with the same name as my table?

Help please. I must be close. I get the error "Object table1 is not found." several times when I run the app and it starts to display the form.

Thanks so much.
