Hi,
I am trying to understand something about how VFP moves record pointer during update. I have tracked the following change but need to understand what happens:
1. The program adds a new record to a table (the table has 100 records). The new record gets RECNO() -1.
2. For whatever reason TABLEUPDATE() fails (e.g. duplicate key field)
3. After call to TABLEREVERT() the current record RECNO() is now 101. And it looks like the record is completely empty, that is as if the record pointer moved to a phantom record (next to EOF().
Is this how VFP works by design? Could someone explain this?
