When I return to my form to REPLACE the data, the table is sitting on Record #1, not on the blank record. I don't see any way around this without placing this method in my form.

Ed, this method shouldn't change the datasession. However, it DOES seem you have a record pointer problem. Add 2 lines of code:

.....
  APPEND BLANK
  nRec = recno()
ENDIF

SET ORDER TO oldOrder
go nRec

This way you force a return to the appended record. In addition, I'd move the SET DELETED ON code to just before the SET ORDER TO oldOrder line. That way you only write it once and it doesn't interfere with setting the correct record.
