I do indeed open & close datasets & use variables frequently at runtime, and I expect that's the problem.
I didn't see anything in the help file that mentioned an extra step to reconnect the lookup fields. I'm sure that's it, so what do I do about it?
(And, in fact, now that you mention it, some other fields seem to get disconnected too - I've had to use DataSet->FieldByName instead of the variables that I had already generated on the form. But the workaround was obvious & I didn't bother mentioning it.)

Hmm, I'm not sure if that accounts for it. See, it compiled correctly but then wouldn't link. I didn't use OPENARRAY, though.

Thanks for your help... you're making a lot of sense, but I still don't have it working.
