   You can get away with edit() in an object on a form; it puts the underlying   
   table into edit mode.   
      
   But since he does all this stuff without necessarily putting the form into   
   edit mode, or testing whether it is in edit mode, the FIRST time through you   
   won't necessarily get a record added to work on.   
      
   But then, since the endedit() was associated with the tcursor and not the form   
   or its underlying table, NOW the form/table is in edit mode and thus it all   
   works.   
      
   At the start of the form, page open usually, I ALWAYS have   
   if not isedit() then   
   edit()   
   endif   
      
   if I or a user will be doing any work on the form entailing editing the   
   underlying table(s).
