Thanks Dave, you are good, very good!  The sandwich also worked for my other
problem.

->I did the following:
->Save  (This saves the original FileA)
->SaveAs ³FileB²
->Do my manipulations
->Save
->CloseFile
->Openfile ³FileA²
->GoSheet
->
->What happens is Panorama tells me that FileA is
->already open and to come back later.  When I do
->the saveas to FileB, FileA closes, so I am
->confused by the message.

->I am using PC Panorama version 4.02

-It sounds like a bug in Windows Panorama to me.
-It works on the latest Mac version. Another way
-to do this, that should produce the same result
-would be.
-
-Save
-
-/* Do manipulations */
-
-SaveACopyAs "File B"
-Revert
-
-Another approach, if you already had a File B available would be
-
-Save
-OpenFile "File B"
-OpenFile "&File A"
-
-/* Do Manipulations */
-
-Save
-CloseFile
-
-
-The first version does everything in File A and
-ends by reverting to saved. The second version
-imports the data from File A into File B, works
-on it there, saves and closes. This leaves you
-back in File A, which never closed. In the second
-version you might be able to select the records
-you wanted File B to work with before opening
-File B and doing the import. Only the selected
-records would be imported.
