Joe,

There is *another* caveat with TABLEUPDATE(2... according to the Help. I don't know if this plays here or not, but it is that the process will *NOT* stop with an error. You should, just for your own satisfaction here, specify an array as #3 param (I think it was) and see if there is any rec# recorded there after completion.

Is this ReQuery being done in the *SAME* execution of VFP, or in some other one?

Have fun,
Jim N
