Bret,
This is a feature that has been around for a long time. I think I discovered this one back in the 2.6 days.
PF
>>>* This does not work, no error gets shown, but the replace command
>>>* does not put anything in the field
>>>REPLACE prceng.prcpqtyby2t WITH THIS.LIST(THIS.LISTINDEX,1)
>>>
>>>* This works
>>>SELECT prceng
>>>REPLACE prcpqtyby2t WITH THIS.LIST(THIS.LISTINDEX,1)
>>>
>>>Is this a bug, feature, or my misusing a replace on a table that is not selected?
>>
>>Add the IN prceng to the end. VFP has a peculiar behavior that if you are sitting at the end of the file in your current area and you attempt to replace in another work area, the replace will fail.

>>HTH
