I want to use an unbound form to edit tabledefs, the table name being
derived from unbound "Startmenu" data. The "Editform" uses a combobox
showing the field names of the appropriate tabledef. When I try to edit,
delete or add a field name (not a record), I get the error "can't lockout
other user or transaction". Even when I put the edit routines in a public
module (which works, even when I reference the "Editform" for details), if I
try to retain any connection to the form module, e.g., calling the public
module from within the "Editform" or an intermediate form, I have the same
problem. Can anyone help me, please?

Shot in the dark here, but what happens when you remove the
combo box and use a text box to specify the field?
