John,

Don't ya just love VFP?#@$! (If they cared to tell us a little more in the docs, maybe we would have better ideas of what to expect)!)

Anyways, what are the chances that you *still* actually have buffering going on (a CURSORSETPROP you forgot about???) and that you are *NOT* doing a TABLEUPDATE???
Seems to me that would also show rec 1/1 in status bar and cause reindex to find records, but then when you actually closed the table these "records" would disappear (never having been TABLEUPDATED).???

Good Luck (again)

>Let's say there is no records in the table. None. Now, I start the program from PM and open the form and add a child record in the grid. I know its there since I'm editing directly from the grid. I skip to another record and come back to this record and I can still see it. Now I close the form and exit the program with cleanup code that includes closing opened database. I go to the PM and browse the child table. The status bar tells me there is one record (the record I just added) but doesn't show the record in the browse window! If I reindex it it tell me 1 record indexed. It I pack it, now there is no records in the table! What's going on???

In addition to this strange problem, now I can't edit the one of two fields in the browse at all. It is a currency field but when I enter something like $1000.00 and hit Enter, it goes back to 0.00. I check to see if it was set to read-only but it is not!
