I can't think of anything. We do that sort of thing a lot and it can work, although I'm trying to use more SQL syntax.
INSERT INTO (ca.Alias) Field1, Field2 SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM Table.DBF
UPDATE (ca.Alias) SET Field1 = otherCursor.Fieldx FROM (ca.Alias) JOIN (othercursor2) ON ...
Obviously, you can probably avoid the update/replace entirely by INSERTing from a good SELECT statement. You are using VFP 9 and it really has good SQL abilities.

Otherwise, just check the normal stuff. TableUpdate for all rows? What's the GETFLDSTATE() after the insert?
