I have a form that is behaving strangely. I am using a dataenvironment, buffer mode 3, setting an index and have this in the dataenvironment init method:

sele depot (name of main table and initially selected alias)
go bott

When the form appears, all the fields are greyed out and the record pointer is at eof(). The form works other than that, but when I use a previous (skip -1) to move off this record, the code below gives me additional problems.

I have used an piece of code to check the status of the record buffer before moving to a new record for years and never had a problem. I use optimistic row buffering for tables and this routine: (abbreviated)

lstatus = getfldstate(-1)

This should return a numeric with one digit for each field. I then look at this to see if any fields are not ones.

Lstatus is coming back as a null. Is this because I was at EOF()?

Where might I look to see how I am getting to eof() rather than bottom?
