Ni Norm,

is workorders included in the exe?

Debug your exe. (Run exe from environment) and see if WOMaster changes

set step on
select workorders
*go top
*scan while !eof()
SCAN
* seek workorders.WONumber order tag WONumber
 IF SEEK(workorders.WONumber,WOMaster','WONumber') THEN
  select WOMaster
  replace WOPrinted with .t.
 ENDIF &&SEEK(workorders.WONumber,'workorders','WONumber')
ENDSCAN

BTW
SCAN ENDSCAN does not need !EOF(), it stop on EOF() anyway, ENDSCAN will reset work area to that of SCAN

>I'm trying to update records that have been printed (the cursor "workorders" contains the work orders that have been printed). The records in the main table need to have a flag set so that they do not print again. The following code works perfectly when I'm debugging, however when running as an EXE nothing is updated, and it looks like the scan is not processing anything.
