Even if you set all fields to unchanged, GETNEXTMODIFIED() will still report the record as modified and you still have to revert changes. If the code make the decision to update or revert based on the code you want to modify, these changes might not be rolled back which could cause future REQUERY() statements to fail. Depending on the code this might happen silently, so some views merely contain old data.

Christof,
The data don't really change, but the GetFldState reports a change. The form method recognizes that there was a change (based on GetFldState) and then silently saves the data (and displays the information saved) message. But I don't want to save when nothing has changed - what should I do to avoid it?
Thanks.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
