Hi,

I found out my problem: I was indexing the cursor after a CursorRefresh(): I moved the code to the AfterCursorFill() event and it works great.

Here is a 'novice' question: why can't I index a cursor when table buffering is on?

Thanks for your help, it is really nice to have folks from Microsoft monitoring this site!

>>Thanks for the input. I did create a structural index. My cursor is record buffered. I make a change in a record and I start a transaction to save it: this is when I get error 1548.
