The OLDVAL() only works for fields that have been modified but not updated in a Visual FoxPro table or cursor that has row or table buffering enabled with CURSORSETPROP( ). See help for details.

>>You cannot assign value to the table field like that. You have to use REPLACE or UPDATE - SQL to modify the table field. Therefore expression

Test.SomeField1 = .T.

is interpreted as assigment of .T. value to the property SomeField1 of the Test object wich doesn't exist.
