You're a gentleman and a scholar. . .

IF LEN(RTRIM(Thisform.Namefile)) =0
WITH Thisform
WITH .Dataenvironment
.Addobject([Cli_name],[Cursor])
.Cli_name.Alias=[Cli_name]
.Cli_name.CursorSource =[cli_name]
.Closetables
.Opentables
ENDWITH
.Field_name.ControlSource =[Cli_name.Field_name]
.ChkField_core.ControlSource=[Cli_name.Field_core]
.ChkField_mand.ControlSource=[Cli_name.Field_mand]
.SpnField_len.ControlSource =[Cli_name.Field_len]
.SpnField_dec.ControlSource =[Cli_name.Field_dec]
.NameFile =[Cli_name]
.MainFile =[Clients]
.CboFilename.Value =[Clients]
.Objsrefresh
ENDWITH
ENDIF

It's at .Opentables where it's pooping out.
