You should be able to put the lnResult=REQUERY( lcAlias) in the repro code I sent and get failures. It may take awhile, but if you make sure that you have enought classes loading and make sure that the the set classlib in the procoption method is not one of them, AND, don't have any debugging code, it should fail. If that doesn't work, try compiling the code into an exe.

We found this morning that we could not reproduce the problem in certain areas while in the VFP development environment, but as soon as we compiled it into an EXE, it consistently failed (using lnResult=REQUERY(lcAlias).
