This code can be done in one line:

REPLACE ALL Field1 with Value1,;
Field2 with Value2,;
Field3 with Value3,;
Field4 with Value4,;
Field5 with Value5

And, it will run alot faster than above... OF COURSE... I think that this may also do a file lock... so, if you need to avoid that, the avbove way, while a bit less efficient will only lock records. So, there is really more GRAY here than black and white.
