Just a WAG - but, what is your DataSession property value for the Form? I think it should be set to "1-Default Data Session". That may be your problem if it says Private!

Thanks Kurt - your understanding is correct.
I have pinned down the problem to the detail form. When I call it something changes the record pointer to the first record. When the calling form gets control back the record pointer is where the detail form left it.
I have not been able to find any reason for this but wonder if it is related to the fact that the form was first created using the form wizard. I had grief with changing the table alias with that form so I opened a new form and copied the complete layout. That took care of table name but perhaps there is an "unwanted feature" still in place from its former life as a wizard created form. I'd rather not do the tedious work of regenerating the form - any ideas?
Thank you,
Joe

Fernando - that's just the opposite of what Joe wants. He indeed wants Both forms to be looking at the same records - such that if he brings up the 2nd form - and Changes to a different record - then upon returning back to 1st form - it should now be looking at the Same record that Form2 was pointing to!

Hello joe:
You may need to use private session en form 2 or on both, so record pointers do not interfere between forms.
