Hi Jon,
Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried. I assume the standard error box that displays is reporting the correct error, the box shows up saying 'Uniqeness of index....', if you hit the help button, the help file says it is error 1884. Also, if you change the line

CATCH TO oException WHEN oException.ErroNo = 1884

to

CATCH TO oException

and then try

MESSAGEBOX( TRANSFORM( oException.ErrorNo ) )

in the CATCH portion, it still completely bypasses the CATCH. Does that make sense (I can't tell anymore:)? Thanks,

jfh
