version 5.6 I was using a QBE with 7 files, and in the FORM_ONOPEN
section was doing this:
Select 1
go top
copy to array array1
Select 2
go top
copy to array array2
ETC....

there are no relations or indexes in the QBE.

I found that only the first array was showing the correct values, the
others showing only the value of the last record. And when I would copy
back to the file form the array, except for the first file, all the
others had blank, non-editable fields. Then I added SET FIELDS OFF as
the last line of the QBE, and all of a sudden it works. Is this
something that everyone knows, or am I making a right by using two
wrongs??

Thanks,

Glenn
