I had a small application that was written by a outside consultant, and written with a reference file. We don't want to use the reference file, so I went in and changed all the references, but in my display files I have two fields giving me problems. I get a error on the edtcde and edtword that worked when the field was referenced, but now it wont take them. Below is a example the lines with XXXX are the error lines. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris.
