Thanks Kurt - your understanding is correct. I have pinned down the problem to the detail form. When I call it something changes the record pointer to the first record. When the calling form gets control back the record pointer is where the detail form left it.
I have not been able to find any reason for this but wonder if it is related to the fact that the form was first created using the form wizard. I had grief with changing the table alias with that form so I opened a new form and copied the complete layout. That took care of table name but perhaps there is an "unwanted feature" still in place from its former life as a wizard created form. I'd rather not do the tedious work of regenerating the form - any ideas?
