this all sounds fine.
Do you know what difference it would make to IBO to have
FIELD1=FIELD1
as opposed to
FIELD1=Mast.FIELD1
?
The former works fine operationally. It does not always throw a cursor
unknow error. Only when trying to close the application.
Maybe something in IBO is firing when the application is closing but before
the query has closed.
