But when my user chooses ADD, I'm doing an APPEND BLANK to give them a blank record to work with. If they wanna save those changes, again, no problem with TABLEUPDATE if they click my SAVE button. But what if they change their mind about adding that record? How do I prevent that blank record from being added to the table if they click my IGNORE button? I don't want my table to have blank records in it.

John,
You should read A Guide to Buffering and Transactions in VFP by Andy Kramek. You could find that article here:

BTW there are many great articles there.
