Re: Weird subfile glitch

There can be several reasons for that. Is it repeatable or does it seem to be random? My first guess is that the indicator is backwards. (That is my usual mistake, but it would happen every time after the load if that were the case. Is the indicator set on before, and off after, each clearing cycle?

attempt to write a duplicate record to that subfile.

There shouldn't be any way to get to the code that loads the subfile
without first getting to the aforementioned code that clears it.

I'm not entirely sure how it happened in the first place, so I'm not
sure how to duplicate the problem. Anybody have any ideas of how it
could happen?
