Thanks, Ron, I've done some tests to see what happens: With Bill Eyring's suggestion in mind I set up a command file to edit 10 rows using the form that uses this EEP via TRACE. Nothing fancy, just 10 consecutive rows ordered by idnum.
Whether I use the dotted variable or the variable on its own (.vCursorhold_P1 or vCursorhold_P1) whenever I click on the button in rows 2 to 10 the form returns to the first row and the value of vCursorhold_P1 remains unchanged as a tilde which is how it is defined as a text variable. There definitely is a previous table with the variable in it. The button is in the second table. I've tried a NEXTROW/PREVROW combination but that doesn't solve it either and IT USED TO WORK!!!
