Just a small additional thing to consider: If you have tablebuffering set to 5, then you should use getnextmodified(0) to find out if some other row than the one the pointer is currently sitting at may have changed. You can then position the pointer at the changed record and use GetFldState() to see what exactly changed. Then use GetNextModified(RECNO()+1) to see if there are other rows with changes as well.

I use the following simple expression to see if there are any kinds of changes in a given row:

llSomethingChanged = REPLICATE('1', 256) != GetFldState(-1)

(assuming SET EXACT = OFF)
