Pardon me if I'm stating the obvious elephant, but... could it be that the fourth record was still only in the buffer and not yet flushed into the table? Then a view against that table would show only the records which made it to the disk so far, i.e. only three. Just closing the entry form would flush that and then the view would show all four. So, perhaps a tableupdate() still didn't have a chance to do its trick at the time?
