In addition to the other comments which will help you solve this mystery, I am offering a suggestion: You can use the REPLACE...FOR command, or REPLACE...WHILE command and do this with a lot fewer lines. You can replace many fields with one REPLACE. Also, just a personal preference; I find

cpay_update != 'D'

or

!(cpay_update = 'D')

easier to read than

!cpay_update = 'D'


Take care,

>I have a cursor called cpayment with 3 records. The cpay_flag is .t. and cpay_schdate has a date in all 3 records. When I run the following code it only loops through one record, not all 3. If I comment out the replace cpay_schdate with {} and replace cpay_flag with .f. the SCAN will loop through all records. Now I know whats causing the problem but I don't understand why.
