Razzak, Now that I know MDI forms can use temporary tables, I can do my detective work. I will have to check my code. On the particular form I am talking about, I create two temp tables, one of which is in a scrolling region. I will have to find out why the scrolling region table is not being created. That is the error I get - no table found.
I just want to take this time again to thank you Razzak for having a forum like this where people can get information "on the fly" so to speak. For someone like myself, that does programming on the side, it has been invaluable. Also all the forms, tables etc we receive when we purchase the product have made me look smart when I meet the needs of our users. I hope as RBASE grows with continued success these "extras" are not ever dropped. Jim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of A.

Jim, Any form used as MDI, either a Variable Form, or a form based on a permanent/temporary table, should always work as expected. In your specific case, just make sure that the actual temporary table is defined prior to using the form as MDI. Where in your routine are you defining TEMPORARY table(s) for all those MDI forms based on TEMPORARY tables? Did you know that you can define the appropriate temporary table(s) related to any specific form as "On Before Design" and "On Before Start" EEP? Also, keep in mind that all TEMPORARY Tables/Views are DROPped when using the DISCONNECT command. Last but not least, you may TRACE your routine to pin down the actual problem.
