GetFldState(-1) will return a string, with a byte for every field. For existing records, "1" means unchanged, "2" means changed. For example, "11211" would mean that the second field has changed (the first byte is for the "deleted" mark).

Note that the user can "touch" the data in a TextField; for example, type a character and then delete it with backspace - in this case, Visual FoxPro will also detect this as a "change". Should this be a problem, you can compare, e.g., Field1 with oldval("Field1").

All the above assumes buffering has been enabled. After a successfull TableUpdate(), both approaches would return information which means "no change".
