Nerissa,
In addition to what Paul said in his reply, you might also want to check the Data Environment's AutoCloseTables setting on the "first form." I've seen similar problems with it set .T.

Hope that helps,

>Then I chose the second menu option. It is the one that launches the form that is encountering the problem. This "File does not exist" error shows that the error is from "v_description.ftype". The strange thing is that, if I exit my application, run it again, click the SECOND MENU OPTION first, the form is displayed successfully. But if I closed this form, click on the first menu option, close this first menu option form, click the second menu option again to launch the second menu option form, "File does not exist" error is displayed.
