That's the $60,000 question! AERROR has, oh, 1/2 dozen .F. elements. Real helpful. I think its a primary key violation, but the very same records do tableupdate when I try the second time...which might be a weird locking problem???? Hmmm.

>Why is the TABLEUPDATE failing? What does AERRROR (the real one) say went wrong with the TABLEUPDATE?
