Yes, I am doing a direct REPLACE. Perhaps *I* am missing something that I have overlooked. I am under the impression that a direct REPLACE is not possible in the table is being buffered. That way, the table is only updated with TABLEUPDATE(), with REVERT() being an option. Then again, I am relatively new to buffering.

Perhaps I can have force them to use post-it notes to keep track of their work, except that at some point they won't be able to see the screen.

>Hmm. I must be missing something...This should of course be fine. Replacing during buffering is what buffering is all about after all. Do you select the table before the replace? Or do you use the IN clause of the REPLACE command?
