In the help under GETFLDSTATE() it states:

"Returns a numeric value indicating if a field in a table or cursor has been edited or had a record appended, or if the deleted status of the current record has been changed."

The operative words here is "...table or cursor" not current record. If what you say is true (I'm not implying it isn't), I would think more people would be confused.


>I think I see the problem. GETFLDSTATE() gives info about the current record. If you're sitting on an unedited record, GETFLDSTATE() will properly show you that it hasn't been edited, even though other records in the table have been. (Note that -1 specifies all FIELDS in the current RECORD, not all RECORDS in the current TABLE.)
