...errrr....doesn't.

I haven't tried to use this function since VFP 3.0 but a recent project forced me to rethink it. I have a opt. table buffered view with 1 or more rows showing numeric data in a grid. I have to provide a mechanism to run a conversion on the number and I don't want to affect the current GETFLDSTATE status or revert the table because some changes may have already been done. So I came up with the idea of scanning through the records, storing the current field state values via GETFLDSTATE to an array, making the change using a SQL-UPDATE to the view, and then restoring the old field states with a loop through the array and SETFLDSTATE.

Sound simple?

Ain't working. The changed fields are showing "2" after the SETFLDSTATE. I can do this all day from the Command Window and no problems occur.

What the heck am I overlooking?
