Thanks Dan, good eyes.
PIKD_ID _is_ auto-number in the permanent table.
I'll start looking through the code to change it.

I find that sometimes rbase does not like you to use the same column name as an autonumbered or computed column in another table. I usually use another column name like putting a “t” prefix.

I sent this on 5/30 but it didn't go through.  My apologies if it's a duplicate.

Clarifications on create temp table based on responses received:
Main Menu is RFF, db is disconnected.
Main Menu item is clicked, db gets connected, the form starts and runs OBS EEP to create temp table. At this point, no temp tables exist because the db has been disconnected for this user; so there can't any open cursors on the temp table that's going to be created. Create temp table code is from permanent table definition with "TEMPORARY" added; the first column, PIKD_ID, exists in another table - it has same column name and datatype. If another user had created a temp table, wouldn't that table and its columns be invisible to this user? And a table, temp or permanent, can't be created with common column name and different datatype. No user would have form designer open, I can do enough damage on my own  :) Hmm, good point though - I do form development on my system and unload the form, then load it into client's system. Client's designers are rarely used.

Thanks for the responses and making me think this through a little more.

Karen: Packers/Bears - Yeah, what a way to start/end the season.
Packers are gonna be in "rebuild" mode for a few seasons.

    So from your code I'm assuming it is the CREATE that isn't
    working, not the drop.  I've seen that error message when trying
    to drop a table and there is a "declare cursor" still defined on a
    temp table that was never dropped.  There's only one thing I can
    think of with the Create, and that's whether some other program is
    creating a temp table with a common column name but with a
    different data type.  But that wouldn't explain why the loop
    sometimes works.  And I'm guessing that no one would have the form
    or report designer up that uses the temp table?

    Hey, did you see that Packers / Bears schedule???

    Subject: [RBASE-L] - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE fails sometimes

    I create a temporary table in a form's On Before Start EEP

    The form is run dozens of times a day.

    Once or twice a week I trap an SQL 2440 error, "Unavailable resource

    encountered during <command> command".

    This is not machine-specific, it occurs on several computers.

    SCRATCH is set to TMP - local C:\Users\...\Temp

    WAIT TIME is 15 seconds.

    INTERVAL is .5 seconds.

    What could be causing the error message?  What resource could be

    unavailable?

    Or is it a red herring message and it's really something else?

    Code is below.

    The [error routine] allows up to 4 tries to loop back and create
    the table.

    It usually works the second time; once in a great while it fails
    after 4

    tries and I exit the program.

    TIA & Happy Memorial Day weekend - take a moment to reflect.

    SET ERROR MESSAGE 2038 OFF

    DROP TABLE tSHPT

    SET ERROR MESSAGE 2038 ON

    CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `tSHPT` +

     (`PIKD_ID` INTEGER, +

     etc )

    SET VAR vSQLCode = .SQLCODE

    IF vSQLCode <> 0 THEN

    [error routine]

    ENDI
