>>I have a form with a Grid (using View, updateable, buffermode = 5)... before the grid appears, on the form it prompts the user to enter a value to retrieve records from the table (100,000+ records) then a grid appears (a view with anywhere between a couple records to a few hundred records)... in testing my view retrieved 248 records, I made a change to just one record... clicked save (=tableupdate(1,.T.,"TAcustView")), a message "Running query...." with a progress bar appeared, and it went into a loop 9 times then it finished. I tried again with a different value, changed one record, it looped 11 times. Another value, it retrieved just a few records, it looped once. That's really strange... why? I checked the modified records (as well as the appended records) and all appears OK... but I find it puzzling that =tableupdate would "requery" too many times....

Not at all whatsoever.
