Oscar,

First your tableUpdate is assuming that the correct work area is selected. It is advisable to use all the arguments for TableUpdate and TableRevert to prevent bugs of something changing a work area on you.

TableUpdate(1,.F.,"MyCursor")

Second your getfldstate is telling you that you are on a new blank record in the cursor. I believe you want to Requery("MyCursor") for teh local view to clear it of the curretn status and update it from the original tables.
