MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Add three tables to the form's data environment and set a 1:1 relation from first table to the second and from the second to the third.
  2. Set the BufferModeOverride property to 5 for the third table.
  3. Create a text box for the first table.
  4. Add navigation buttons that will move the record pointer in the first table and refresh the form.
  5. Create a grid by dragging the second table to the form.
  6. Set the ColumnCount of the grid to 3.
  7. Set the ControlSource of Column3 to a field from the third table.
  8. Set the DataSession property of the form to 2-Private Data Session.
  9. Run the form, and select a parent record with many records in the grid.
  10. Try to edit two or three child records by changing data in the child and grandchild. At this point, you'll receive the error.
