>As Edward said, appending/inserting are identical in function. The new record is given the recno: reccount+1. The only time FP allows you to mess with record numbers is when you PACK or ZAP. FoxPro allows you to collapse data tables, but not expand it from within. Besides, with SET ORDER, you don't need to be concerned with recno().
