OK - Another full day of programming and chasing my tail over what seems to be a simple piece of code - but - here it is

WITH thisform.bgpageframe1.page2.grdordlines
SELECT Item_Master
SET ORDER TO TAG itemnumber
SEEK this.value
IF FOUND()
REPLACE ordentlines.description WITH Item_Master.description
REPLACE ordentlines.nonstock WITH .T.
REPLACE ordentlines.saleunit WITH Item_Master.saleunit
REPLACE ordentlines.salemult WITH Item_Master.salemult
REPLACE
ELSE
REPLACE ordentlines.nonstock WITH .T.
REPLACE ordentlines.saleunit WITH "EA"
REPLACE ordentlines.salemult WITH 1.000
REPLACE
ENDIF

And the but is that the REPLACES before the ELSE work but those after the ELSE don't. It is entering the correct section based on whether I enter a stocked item or not. The nonstock setting is in both places as a control and again it works in the first instance but not in the second. What is my smoking brain missing? Help please.
