Probably the current work area is different than the work area where the REPLACE is done. In this case (if the REPLACE command doesn't have an IN clause), the REPLACE ALL will scan the currently selected table and it will replace in the correct table.

>I'm executing a REPLACE ALL command, but depending on how I get the data for it, it acts differently. The data is comming from a memory variable that has been validated against a dbf. When the memory variable gets it's value from a browse window, the REPLACE ALL works properly. However, when the memory variable comes from the user entering the value, the REPLACE ALL only changes the first record. The value of the memory vaule is identical in both cases, but the REPLACE ALL command opperates differently. Does anyone know why this is happening?
