Hey Eric,

One way is to set the record pointer at the end of file in the table. This has to be done in the load method of the form (the init is too late). Something like this:

goto bottom in 'myTable'
if .not. eof('myTable')  && don't need to skip if file has no records
    skip 1 in 'myTable'
endif

HTH,
