>>This is very strange. And you're SURE that TABLEUPDATE() is returning .T.? One think you should do is make sure that any dates aren't empty. If you have an empty date you need to replace it with NULL because Access doesn't understand blank dates. Still, if this were the problem I would expect TABLEUPDATE() to return .F.

Barry,

Glad I could help. If Duke continues their winning ways I'll be in St. Pete next weekend, but I won't hold you to the dinner offer. You'd have to buy dinner for my wife and her family, too which could get a bit pricey :)

Actually, if you knew of a hotel or B&B in the area with a few free rooms next weekend I'd be eternally grateful (fat chance, I know, but I had to ask).
