   I can see how you'd get at least one 'not in edit mode' error, but without   
   seeing all of your code I can't say what else is wrong.   
      
   When you open a form, it will automatically go to the first row in the table   
   (based on the data model, filters, etc.).  It seems like you will always   
   try to flag this row as Viewed=today(), which I don't think you want.   
      
   A form doesn't automatically open in Edit() mode either, so it will arrive   
   on the row before you can issue the Edit() command, causing the error.   
      
   Rather than using dataArriveRecord, is there a common place in your code   
   where you control which row is displayed on the screen?  If so, that is   
   probably   
   the place for Viewed=today().   
      
   If you still want to use dataArriveRecord, then set a global switch once   
   you've settled onto a 'good' row, and only do the update if it is set.  You   
   can set the switch to false at the beginning of the form's init() method   
   (before doDefault), then set it to true once you qLocate (or whatever) your   
   first row.   
      
   Also, check your code for EndEdit() or CancelEdit() and either turn off the   
   switch, or toggle edit() back on just for the Viewed=today() update.   
      
   HTH,
