Mark,

I found the problem and thought I'd post it just to finish the thread in case anybody else shoud read the first two parts.

I had all of the facts but I just didn't put the facts togeather. Like I said, VFP was running an SPR which had a READ and, therefor, according to MS the _CUROBJ= code should have worked. What I failed to see, although it was right in front of me, was that the WHEN clause was calling an external prg which had the _CUROBJ= code in it which was, therefor, outside of the READ. I took the _CUROBJ= out of the external prg and inserted it directly into the WHEN clause and, voila, everything worked fine.

It gets a bit more complicated if the objects are in different containers, but you see the idea.
