John,

How do you "...make changes to the data... initially - using replace or depending on Form ControlSource or some other means? Does the record pointer get moved before you issue GETFLDSTATE() first time?

Perhaps the act of changing those records that you initially did REPLACE on moves the record pointer?

Good luck,

Jim N

However, when I make changes to the data, GETFLDSTATE(-1) is returning no changes being made. Only when I make changes to those records that I actually had initially done REPLACE to get some default data does GETFLDSTATE() reflect changes being made. Obviously, somethings wrong here.
