Tyler,

Your code looks exactly right -

IF NOT FOUND - SCAN, INSERT new record,
IF FOUND - SCAN, Replace values in existing record.

You say the problem is that you are expecting to get REPLACEd records and you are getting INSERTed records.

Have you tried setting up some test data - little tables of just a couple of records so you know exactly what should happen at each step of the way, and following the data with the debugger?

Are you perhaps being bitten by SET("EXACT") when comparing the StudentId and CourseId?


>I have a table called packslip that has 12 records in it with a studentid and courseid. I have a temporary cursor cpack. If the table has the studentid and courseid that are in the cursor I want to replace those records in the table with the ones in the cursor. The problem is I get new records not changed ones. The reason I have the scan in here is to associate the quantity with the material.
