Very Computer

Greetings to the solvers of paradoxes!

I have a very irksome little problem...

Here is the senario:
        Several of my forms have a TableFrame which I use to view a detail
        table.  In order to control (and log) updates to that table, I
        set the readOnly property of the TableFrame to TRUE in the page's
        Arrive method.  Then, only after the user has jumped through the
        appropriate hoops, do I set the readOnly property back to FALSE,
        allowing them to make edits.

Now for the problem:
        After successfully using one of these forms for weeks, suddenly the
        readOnly property of the TableFrame is stuck on TRUE!  I can bind
        the following code to a button:
                MY_FRAME.readOnly = FALSE
                msgInfo("ReadOnly = " + strVal(MY_FRAME.readOnly) )
        and the message will display ReadOnly = TRUE every time!!
        (and, most importantly, I really CAN'T edit the table either)

        Something is forcing the property to TRUE, but I have no idea
        what and I get no messages when I try to change it!?!?

Help! Help! Help! (Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!)

;----------------------------------
if not HoopsDone then
        eventInfo.setErrorCode(CanNotArrive)
endif
;----------------------------------

This will block any move until the flag is set to TRUE, which you can do with a simple custom
method that can be called from anywhere.        

;----------------------------------
method SetFlag(const theState Logical)

HoopsDone=theState

endmethod
;----------------------------------

An example: I have a tableFrame which highlights the current record by
changing its color from transparent to blue. The form is rather complex
and is still under construction. So I go through the design - run -
design loop many times dayly. If I press F8 (design) when any but the
topmost record is currently highlighted everything is OK. But if I forget
that I'm dealing with a great paradox and press F8 when the topmost
record is blue, the next run all records are blue!

Hope this might help,

If you are on a network, some one may have improperly exited from the
table, leaving the read only lock on. This may have been through a three
finger salute, etc. If so, ask that specific user to open and close the
form, or look for *.lck files and delete them.
