SET ERR MESS ON SET MESS ON DISC AUTOCHK nameofdatabase FULL See what errors exist.
I'm no expert but in your place I would start over (backup the table and data) and try the update on one row (where limit = 1) at the R> prompt and see what error it creates. Or, if you're game, use R:Scope and see if the autofix will solve your problem on the existing sick table...

Before getting all these responses, I had managed to fudge my way through it and I had it all in a Temporary Table. Because I still had things to do to the data, I decided I should make my Temp table a real one, in case of a crash (we had a power failure here last night) After making it a real table, I tried to use an Update command to make some changes and that's when all went weird. I get an Error Message Box: "Error in Function RBListofTables". This goes into a loop and I need to shut down RBase in order to get it to stop. Now, the same thing happens if I try to open that table, export the data, etc, etc. What did I do and is there any way to fix it, or do I start over? Lin
