If you are working directly with the table, not with a view, CurVal() return the current value in the table. No need to do a refresh in that case.

>The following excerpt is take from the help for CURVAL. If you are using native tables what is the equivalent to Refresh()? Is there one?

>"Note If you are working with a view in a multi-user environment, the values returned by CURVAL( ) might not be up to date unless you call the REFRESH( ) function first. Data returned by a view is buffered, and the CURVAL( ) function reads values from the buffer. However, if other users have changed data in the underlying tables for the view, the buffered data is not updated until the REFRESH( ) function is called."
