Hi Erik,

Just tried buffering set to 5 and the problem still occurred. It appears that moving the record pointer in the base table (not the view) will "sometimes" cause the problem.

>>Sometimes (not all times) for reasons unknown to me this valid will actually write the partially completed vContacts record to the base table. The same happens when I reach the valid for the Company name field, using similar select to above. I then have two incomplete records added to my base table.
