By moving the pointer, I mean it does the update, but after the update has finished, the record position is another record. For example, I APPEND BLANK a record (let's say record # 8). The TABLEUPDATE hits #8, but is then on record #7 after that. It is intermittent, and happens inside a form that has the parent table and a number of other tables in the DE. Here's the section w/the TABLEUPDATE:

BEGIN TRANSACTION
* Try to update all records in selected table
m.lSuccess = TableUpdate(.T.,.F.) &&successful update
IF m.lSuccess
END TRANSACTION
LOOP
ENDIF
ROLLBACK

Thanks...
