Hi alex,

I too, am very new to vfp, but I can answer your question. As long as your table has the index set as primary and you have your form set to row buffering, vfp will do this automatically. I have set up several forms like this. It also helps if you use the buttons from the wizard class that autmatically move through any table attached to a form. They allow adds, edits and deletes and ms wrote all the code for you already.
