   You have 'edit()' as part of the routine INSIDE the if eventinfo.id() block.   
      
   Are you sure it is in edit mode to start with?  Cause the above would fail the   
   first time and work (likely) the second and subsequent times (sound like what   
   you are getting?) if the form wasn't in edit to start.   
      
   Also, if the tc2.open you have errorshow(); I would add 'return' to that since   
   you don't want errors cropping up when your code starts referencing a tcursor   
   that didn't get opened.   
      
   Is this code going to be used by more than one person; ever?  Actully, the   
   table 'entrynumb.db'.  If so, this code needs (critically) to be revisited   
   once you get the main issue resolved.
