Perhaps I was mistaken as to the problem being discussed. I have had
times when a vplacecursor refused to go to say field number 8. I don't mean
the eighth field. I mean, the field that is internally numbered 8. after
copying the form to a new form file and deleting the original and copying
it back and recompiling (not renumbering), it would work fine. That is
what I meant by file corruption (or VPLUS corruption/bug).
