I'm being imprecise:

The array isn't aerrors since that's a (quasi) reserved name.

I (successfully) issue TABLEUPDATE( 0, .T., 'lvw_wlevel') after GATHER NAME (not FROM)

What I've done is SCATTER NAME aErrors[] any record that fails the tableupdate and revert the record. Then, when I'm done with the scan loop in which I add the records, I check the array. If it has any "bad" record objects, I APPEND BLANK into the view, and GATHER FROM the object. And this works. But I distrust it < shrug >.
