I found some of my combos worked - refrencing the exact same maintenance form. So, I made every single property and method the same between one that did work and one that didn't - no effect. Then I changed the Read Only flag on my default data session ( your solution ). Some then worked but others still failed. I then examined the tables directly. Sure enough the data was there just not in the index and I noticed by cycling the Set deleted On/Off I could get the data to appear and disappear. Finaly I packed and or reindexed the files and the data appeared fine. I can't do this in the production environment as it requires exclusive access to the file which by definition I don't have.

Ok, I've read through your discussion with Evan.

Have you made all of your files updatable in the default DS? That should help, but perhaps there is something else going on.

Do you think that some of your CDX files are still not being updated?

By including ".not. deleted()" in your tags you are doing the same thing as "SET DELETED ON". Therefore I assume you are running with "SET DELETED OFF". I would think you would not want to do both.

If you start with a clean file (packed and reindexed) and use your update form, what is the first problem that you can notice?
