Des,

What recno was in the error dialog? The first row is a comment. Row 2 is the DE, Rows 3..n+2 (where n = # of tables in the DE) are the tables in the DE they will have class = cursor. Row n+3 will be the form, class ="form" the rest of the rows are the controls in the form. If you had an error in a property sheet setting would be the only thing I know of that can throw a recno kind of error while trying to load the form.

>I have had an interesting time exploring the property fields of the SCX table. But unfortunately the record stated in the error message is the form itself not the record showing me the database in question. Having used a tedious method of scanning all tables I eventually found the index missing but the error message did not point me to that record directly. Any comments
