limit of backup movements has been reached

[Philip Jackson]

When PowerHouse encounters an error, it tried to prompt in usually the last 
field the user entered.  If the user hasn't been prompted for input or if it 
can't figure out what field to prompt in, you usually get this message and 
the user is prompted in the Action box.  It (sort of) makes sense for you to 
get this message, given that after an error has occured, PowerHouse is (sort 
of) backing back to the last field entered, but in this case there isn't 
one.

If I was a betting man, I would guess that you are getting an error along 
the lines of a Get that is failing, or possibly a duplicate key if writing, 
or some other file-related message in the postfind procedure, and PowerHouse 
is unable to prompt you in a sensible place and is just doing the best it 
can, and in the process not reporting the real error.

Running debug and stepping through the screen may help, but usually a few 
well-placed info = something now response commands in loops help track down 
failing gets/puts best.  IMHO.

Good Luck.
