This works in VFP 9 SP2

CLOSE DATABASES ALL
CREATE TABLE MyTable (Id I, Field1 Char(10))
INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES (1,"11111")
INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES (2,"22222")
INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES (4,"44444")
INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES (5,"55555")
INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES (6,"66666")
BROWSE NORMAL
GOTO 2
INSERT BLANK  
REPLACE Id WITH 3, Field1 WITH "33333"
BROWSE NORMAL
