Assuming that you are using controls bound to a Data control, if the
underlying table or database is empty, you must execute an AddNew
method before:

1) Entering text in a bound control
2) Clicking on the Data Control buttons

This problem is caused by the automatic update functionality built into
the Data Control.  When you enter data and then execute an AddNew on
an empty table or database, the Data Control attempts to update the
current record (of which there isn't one).

The workaround is to simply disable the bound controls and Data
Control until an AddNew method had been issued.

When I built my EXE program, using Paradox for Windows 4.5, I tried
to begin entering data, I got the error$(err) message, "No current
record" and the program terminated.  But under design mode, I did not
get no message and it allowed me to enter the data.  

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?  I always have problems when the
initial database tables are empty.  I remember reading to create dummy
records but I don't want these records to be seen.  

Thanks,
Dave

If your tables are empty, dun use any of the move cmds until an
addnew..update is done.
