I DEFINITELY see your point and agree (and will be sure to do it that way from now on) ...but do you see why this would have failed (I don't see it)? Thanks.

USE IN cCkName
SELECT lv_agenciesupdate

IF !lOK
IF !lFoundAbbrev AND !lFOundName
=TableRevert( )
ENDIF
ELSE

** check for changes
IF !TableUpdate( 0, .F. ) && write changes - detect if someone else made a change
=TABLERevert( )
WAIT WINDOW cUpdateFailed + " - " + cOtherUpdate + cNewLine + "Try again"
=REQUERY( "LV_AgenciesUpdate" )
.AgencyGrid.Refresh()
ELSE
IF .lAdding
.AgencyGrid.Refresh()
ENDIF
ENDIF

.DisableInputs
ENDIF
