I'm working with a copy of ebase v1.02.  This problem occurred in FM 4.1. 
converted ebase to FM 5 and the problem is still there.

Issue - when adding a new name - using the add name button - a FM warning
message pops up.  It states:

"This field cannot be modified until "RECORD NUMBER" is given a valid
value."

I hit OK, it pops up again.  It pops up three times.  After that it dumps
me at data entry screen 1, in the first name field - just like the add
name script is supposed to do.

Stranger yet is that there is no record number created for this record. 
It doesn't show up in any fields and, when viewing the names file as a
table, the new record and info is there but there is no record number.

I've compared the add name (and add related records) scripts with working
versions of ebase v1.02 and see no discrepancies.  The field Record Number
is defined correctly.  The field Added Correctly is defined correctly.

This ebase is on a network that has had crashes before.  Maybe the field
record number is 'corrupt' but there seems to be no way to check that. 
B/c the message pops up three times, I'm guessing that the add name script
is running up to the create related records script - which tries to create
three records and it is those records that aren't created and are
generating the message (3 times) which makes me think that the problem is
occurring earlier in the script - as though the add New Record/Request
command doesn't work.  It's a FM command though and how can that be
checked?

Anyone seen this before or have recommendations for where the error could
be occurring?  Thanks much!

Ted
