Well, I got notice today that I'm done with my current Corporate gig as of 3/1. And I learned my Uncle Bob passed away last night just before midnight. (I wasn't close to him but he's still family.)
Not a great start to February!
Since losing my VFP job in early 2017, I've been playing the "Business Analyst" role since then. You know how it is with regards to VFP dev work (it's non-existent!).

Sorry to learn of your family's loss and your corporate gig loss. Prayers for you and your family! Hopefully, February will get better quickly.

I've already implemented a work-around, but I'd like to know what's causing this.
I have a report that builds a list of plant locations (curPlants), then builds a cursor full of data for a report. (cList)
When I'm ready, I do this: Select cList Report Form MyReport blahblah
It INSISTS on making curPlants the current cursor, massively messing up the report. I checked and there is nothing in the report data environment, or TAG1/TAG2. I set the DE initial cursor to cList, and get the same behavior. There is no mention of curPlants in the report form anywhere (It runs fine if I CLOSE curPlants)
During debugging I stopped it, verified it was on the correct cursor with a browse, let it proceed - and it worked just as it should, using cList. Also during debugging I accidentally introduced a non-fatal error. It stopped, I ignored the error, and it proceeded to work correctly, using cList. Remove the error line, and don't pause... and it selects curPlants. WTH?
I got around this by CLOSEing curPlants, which is less than Ideal, because then I have to close the screen, so they can't run multiple reports, but it's acceptable. Any Ideas? I wasted several hours on this.
Hi Vince,
is curplants the recordsource if a grid on the screen? If so then move focus away from the grid prior to running the report. The grid is greedy and tries to get it's controlsource selected all the time.

Seems like crap always happens in bunches. Sorry, Mike
