No try catch or bindevent anywhere.... so still non the wiser.... 50% of the way to building it from scratch anyway and so far with incremental testing it is working fine, so I think it is just one of those things...
I will take a copy of the form in error though and hack the scx to un subclass it and see if that works. Oh well, it's weekend so I can rest on Sunday, just like God I suppose!!! Have a great weekend fellow Foxers!

I have a feeling the SCATTER is just a straw that breaks the real problem.
