>Notice the line the 7th line down that reads repl temp.cur12mo with 0. The problem is that if I don't first preface that line with the line above it "sele temp" the replace will not work. In other words the field will not be zero but rather whatever it was before. It's as if the command is being ignored. I have never had this problem before. In fact the first replace command in the above code (line 3) works great.

I just looked at the syntax of replace and I noticed the IN clause. I've never used that in the past.

It's not a bug it's a feature. :)
I personally always use IN clause
