Thanks for your time George. A VFP restart has things working more as expected.

>It shouldn't. I was able to execute the following with no problem.

>CREATE CURSOR Foo (somenum N, condition c(50))
>APPEND BLANK
>REPLACE somenum WITH 1, condition WITH ".T."
>REPLACE somenum WITH 2, condition WITH "Goo(somenum) = 1"
>SELECT * FROM Foo WHERE EVAL(condition) && Returns 2 records
>GO BOTTOM
>REPLACE somenum WITH 2, condition WITH "Goo(somenum) = 2"
>SELECT * FROM Foo WHERE EVAL(condition) && Returns 1 record

>* Exists in current directory
>FUNCTION Goo
>  LPARAMETER Junk
>  RETURN Junk - 1
>ENDFUNC

The above seems to work just fine and as expected.
