I'd tried to cancel the debugger, cancel the form, and fix the problem. Sometimes I could and sometimes I couldn't (many attempts at clear all, close all). It seems I'd often end up with several data sessions and sometimes Unknown data session

After attempting to look at the database I got a message to the effect that this wasn't permitted in the middle of a transaction. It finally dawned on me that some of those datasessions were in the middle of transactions, and I had to go to them and do a rollback to set things right.

Sylvia,
Transactions are not *scoped* to current data session. It's like a read...clear read. In other words, you could "begin transaction" from command line and "end transaction" or "rollback" after running a lot of code. Where stucked do a rollback. But for the moment I would suggest to keep the transaction in a method where much code is not called. Think this scenario :Begin transaction
