After I tested the form, I exited adn wanted to open up the child tables. Yet, when I tried to open one table, it opened, but I cannot get off of the bottom record for soem odd reason. I have used CLOSE DATABASE, CLEAR ALL and USE to close the table, and then reopened the table, yet I still cannot move off the bottom record. I even reindexed and executed CLEAR PROGRAM, but it is somehow locked to the bottom record. The only thing that clears this up is to exit FoxPro altogether. What is going on? Now, the table was set to 5 for type of buffer (Optimistic Table Buffering), but once it is closed, isn't that enough to reset it to its default.
