IIRC, There was a bug in VFP8 Intelliseense that would reset _TALLY. Try to type it w/o space so Intellisence wouldn't kick in.
INSERT INTO test VALUES ("test")
?_tally
There was also another bag with SET NOTIFY CURSOR OFF that affected _TALLY as well but it was increasing it.
>I never noticed this, but is now in the way. When I issue a INSERT command the _TALLY reports zero record affected when in fact it should be 1.
