lookupfields and ttable.edit problem

Allthough I programmed around this problem using Mastersource I still like to
know:

I have a .DBF table (with blobfield) and added 2 lookupfields.
When I wanted te add a picture I got the ,message that My.dbf is not in editmode
The first line in myprocedure was MYTABLE.EDIT
What could have been the problem.

thanks

Re:lookupfields and ttable.edit problem

Tables drop out of editmode after many different operations. When
looping through a procedure, you will usually need to have
mytable.edit in the loop, rather than before the loop. Best thing to
do is put a breakpoint at the beginning of the procedure and step
through so you get a good understanding of how the code operates.

HTH,
Dan
