>Is the form using the default data session? If you do not open the tables in the form's load, then set it to default and see if that helps...

Well, I finally got this one licked. The form was modeless, and I did not have a READ EVENTS anywhere. The solution was to make the form modal. Furthermore, I mislead y'all when I quoted Myprg. It was actually:

USE mytable
DO FORM myform
USE   && I forgot to quote this line.
RETURN

The USE closed the table after the modeless form was created and displayed, leaving nothing for the controls to be bound to. Thanks for the OOP-stimulating discussion.
