Hi Tracy
You're on the right track. Found (with Jim Nelsons help) another place where am opening that table. Closed it and the bug disppeared.
the following code doesn't work:
IF USED("identity")
USE IN identity && closes the Table (Ho Ho)
ENDIF

And this code is lying also: (It's supposed to show all open tables)
lnCnt=AUSED(aAliases)
FOR i = 1 TO lnCnt
WAIT WINDOW "["+STR(aAliases[i,2])+"] ["+aAliases[i,1]+"]"
ENDFOR

It smells like a "Work Area" problem. I thought we were done with that sort of thing when we left FP 2.X. <g>
Thanks so much for your help.
My wife & I used to spend time at Topsail Island which is near to Jacksonville, NC.
Not far away from you I think.
Thanks again.
Bill
