Hi Harry ---
Define "move the pointer"? What may be confusing you is that VFP uses negative record numbers for appended records to a table thats table buffered. So, you append a record to a 3 record table and that new record appears to be record# -1 until you TABLEUPDATE, at which point it becomes record 4.
>Does anyone know if there's are bugs with tableupdate in VFP5?
>Problem is that sometimes it seems to move the record pointer of the table being updated, in this case a new record. It looks like it might move the pointer after it saves the data to the record.
