IF !USED('sysdata') ERROR 'Initialization Failed: File Sysdata.dbf not open.' RETURN .F. ELSE SELECT sysdata ENDIFThis works fine for selecting the sysdata table when it is not the current alias, in most cases. The problem is when my main application form is active and the focus is set to the Grid that is on a pageframe on that form, the above select command doesn't work. If the focus is on any control other than a Grid on that form and the System Parameters form is instantiated it works fine.
