Week later I changed a single PICTURE FIELD >attribute from _noFramed to _noFramedNOCR (no click reverse), saved, >recompile the Include, and suddenly, I get an error message that When I've seen strange things like this, I usually suspect a "non-printing character" somehow has gotten imbedded in the offending line. I open the file in BBEdit Lite and tell it to "zap gremlins", turning them into an option-eight "ball" character. Usually it finds one in the line with the weird error, I delete it and resave, and everything's fine... Typically this will happen when I've got a routine that's trashing memory and I run from within FB (it overwrites the source file that's in memory). So the character itself doesn't fix the _real_ bug, but gets me beyond that point where I can start looking for the real one. Bill
