Milt,
Are you using relations defined in the Form or in the DBC as RI?
Overall, it sounds to me like you may want to rethink the architecture....or, think about this: Add a field to the table(s) named newflag, logical. When appending (using INSERT INTO I hope or this won't work), set it .T. and then set false later, right before the Tableupdate.
In your validation logic, check for that .T. setting. If newflag=.T. for the record, skip all other validation (return .t.)
>Don't I have to do a skip in order to update the relations in the tables. In another words if I don't then the relations between orders and clients won't be refresh on the screen. Won't it still be showing the another record.
