Barbara and Steve:

Thanks a ton--excellent advice. I was absolutely clueless as to where to look. Now I strongly suspect I will find and squash this little sucker once and for all. I really appreciate it.

>>>Whenever I cancel out of a form, I get a Record Out of Range error message. When I clear the error message, everything functions perfectly. I re-indexed everything--no effect. Don't know where this puppy is coming from. What can cause this error (Error #5) and what do I have to do to make the thing go away???

>>Typically, I've gotten that error when issuing a GO somerecordnumber and the record number doesn't exist. And that's usually because I've left the pointer at BOF() or EOF(). If you're moving the pointer in a table, you might need to check for those and put the pointer on the first or last record so that it is somewhere that exists. I really don't know your exact situation so I just guessing.
