Nancy,

I have a few places where I do REPLACEing on fields in views/tables where the user isn't editing the fields. When doing it I'm usually IN that workarea already anyway. But by all means if it's the non-current workarea the IN clause should be used to work around the insidious XBase shorcoming.

>Personally, I almost never do a REPLACE anymore, but, FWIW, I heard others here suggest that replacing in a table other than is currently selected is best done with IN. As in:

REPLACE TableOrViewName.tLastUpdate with datetime() IN AliasName
