>Take note of the UpdateNameList property. For some strange reason, the builder shows the correct checked updatable fields. But after closing the builder, it seems to produce an erroneous UpdateNameList value! (This happened when I added the field CHINAME and CHINAMEX in the MySQL table then redid the CA.)

Try using TEXT ENDTEXT:

TEXT TO this.UpdateNameList PRETEXT 15
        CODE student.CODE,
