Hi Henry,

To find out which part of the form causes this problem do following
- open your form as a table USE frmUsers.scx NOUPDATE
- navigate to the record x
- The objname field should tell you what object it is. You can explore other fields of the record to gather more info.

I get the above error even BEFORE I reach BeforeOpenTables() !! I'm trying to see what exactly it doesn't like but I just can't seem to STEP it earlier than the error.
