But in the command window, for practice, I've selected a target table (the Foxplus one - which is perfectly manipulatable in VFP) and tried to do append from the main table. But nothing happens - no data appended. I've never come across this before. Could it be anything to do with the target table's "pedigree"?

Hi Terry,

I never seen something like that unless I was appending to the wrong table. :)
