Hi Bryce. Could this be an Activation group problem? Are the programs
running in the same activation group?

So here's the situation, and my lack of understanding of how things work
at the call stack level I think is the problem.

I have a program, in that program I use QCMDEXC to create a new member on
a physical file. Then I do an OVRDBF to that member. I then call another
program - yes program, not a module or service program, to write some
records to that file. Then I call a procedure from a module that is bound
to my program to do some stuff and read from that member I just created
and populated. The problem is that the called program isn't writing to
the member I created, its writing to the *FIRST member of the file. My
bound procedure is looking in the member I did the OVRDBF to but its
blank.

Can someone explain why the called program doesn't retain the OVRDBF to
the proper member and what I can do to fix this? Is the only way to do it
by passing the member name to the called program so it can do its own
OVRDBF?

Thanks
