If you open the same file under 2 different aliases, then close either one of them, it closes the file and the lookup would fail, even if it uses a different alias. Could that be the case here. </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537894315328_3323"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537894315328_3325"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537894315328_3324">If not, I suggest putting on the debugger right before the lookup line and then making sure the lookup works and stays open until you hit the line of code that is giving the error.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537894315328_3326"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537894315328_3327"><span>Bill Lucca</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537894315328_3330"><span><br></span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 12:29 PM, Richard Kreiss via Filepro-list <filepro-list@lists.celestial.com> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div dir="ltr">Have a process which does a lookup and test it starting with line 79 in my processing table.
