Nadya, It is modeless, and while suspended, I see 3 files opened, of which NONE is trans.dbf) BTW, I still have to hit "OK" when the "cannot access tables" message appears so the suspend statement could go anywhere not just F12.

>on key label f12 suspend
>Hit f12 after you got your message and see, which tables are open (if form is non-modal, you can activate command window and do set). If form is modal, make it non-modal for a moment.
