Carl and Larry,
I don't think this is a "bug", but rather I *believe* that it is the "standard" Xbase way of dealing with "scope".
In ordinary folks terms. . . 'if the current work area is at eof(), then any other work area is also assumed to be at eof()'.
I think it was VFP 3 which introduced the "IN" clause to many of the commands, essentially allowing us to address each relevant work area specifically, thus overcoming the assumption which is inherent otherwise.
Cheers,
Jim N
