A cheesy solution is to store the ID value (or other determining value like Recno()) of the FOLLOWING record (Ford in this case). Make your change and then return to Ford.

Since you're changing the indexed field, you can also SET NEAR ON, seek the original value you change (SEEK 'Berra'). It will find the record AFTER Berra since Berra is now Pepitone.

Either way will work.
