Sounds like you're not calling TABLEUPDATE() correctly. Between 3.0 and 5.0 the syntax became somewhat confused. The help entry implies that you can pass .T. or .F. as the first parameter, and that it signifies whether to force the update. In fact, the first parameter is numeric, and the SECOND parameter is whether or not to force the update. Try doing TABLEUPDATE(1, .T.) and see if that works.
