After your TABLEUPDATE() fails, use AERROR() to find out why it failed. That might help you find the problem.

>When I browse my local view from the command window and modify one of the fields and then issue a tableupdate, it always returns false. Then if I try to close it or move the record pointer, I start getting syntax errors. The view is based on a single table with all the fields selected. The update tab has all the fields checked for update, as well as the key field. "Send SQL Updates", "Key and Modified", and update using "SQL Update" is checked. What am I missing?
