>I am using GETNEXTMODIFIED in grids to scan changed records and use the data enetered to update fields in other files. The problem is, there can also be new records in the grid and when GETNEXTMODIFIED hits them, VFP tells me that buffering is not enabled (it is) What is the easiest way around this. I am trying to do it in one section of code. Do I have to code differently for new records? Any help appreciated

I am not sure I get the problem here. I can GetNextModified() without a problem. Here's what I did...

create table test (cTest1 C(10))
USE test SHARED
? cursorsetprop("Buffering", 5)
append blank
replace ctest1 with "Universal"
append blank
replace ctest1 with "Thread"
append blank
replace ctest1 with "Visual"
append blank
replace ctest1 with "Foxpro"
go top
? GetNextModified(0)
GO -1
? tableupdate()
? recno()
? GetNextModified(recno())
GO -2
? tableupdate()
? GetNextModified(recno())
GO -3
? tableupdate()
? GetNextModified(recno())
GO -4
? tableupdate()
? GetNextModified(recno()) &&Returned 0 -- no more new records

I grant u the code is somewhat heinous but it was, afterall, only a test. My point is that it worked with no problem.

Are you doing something conceptually different?
