If it doesn't throw one of the File in Use errors, it is safe to say it worked. The reason I say this is INSERT INTO locks the table header, appends a record and changes the header to reflect the new table information. It then unlocks the header. If it can perform the lock on the file, it can insert the record.

Having said that, there is the off-the-wall error condition that Doug Hennig has posted. If you have a corrupt table header, inserts will look like they worked and tableupdates will return .T. but the table will not be updated. Yo can do a search on his messages and tableupdate to find the exact fix for that condition.
