>>>I am getting a migraine headache over this one. I am just starting a new app and testing with 3 forms. One is against a base table, the other 2 are against local views. They all use private data sessions and optimistic row locking. I have 2 major headaches:

>>>1. After I've saved a record VFP 3.0b still thinks I have dirty buffers. It was driving me nuts, so I added a little routine to my form (I'm testing with the one that's using a base table to make things simpler), after the save method runs. All it does is display oldval and curval as well as what's in the buffer. All of the values match after the save. Immediately after this, I put the line wait window getfldstate(-1) and it shows up with a 2 in the string! What gives? Got any ideas?

>>>2. When testing with one of the forms against a local view, when I select the exit option from my main menu, I get an error in the goapp.cleaup() when it is releaing this form. The error says "lv_Region alias not found" but if I suspend, go to the command window, and type DISPLAY STATUS, lv_region is there!

An interesting point, if I change 2 fields and save, it changes the 2 corresponding to the first field to a 1, but no matter how many times I save, the last changed field never has its status changed in getfldstate(-1). And the record REALLY is saved! If I exit the form and go back in, all of my changes are there. BTW, this is not an issue where eval(this.controlsource) <> this.value. I handle that before invoking my save method.

Try issuing the tableupdate() and the getfldstate() with the aliases to make sure that you are updating and checking he status of the tables that you think you are.

tableupdate(1, .T., 'mytable')
getfldstate(-1, 'mytable')
