I haven't saved anything in the dataenvironment (haven't quite got to grips with that yet). Nowhere is there an explicit request to add the record. I've even added valid code to a field to generate an error when the record is added but that has provide no clues as to what is adding the record.

Thanks Barbara, I tried this earlier. I think maybe it was linked to a list box, they are the only things I've worked with and and the problem spontaneously disappeared. I suspect it was VFP was trying to make up for a bug which my "on error" routine didn't catch.
