It seems we have a different version VFP5.0. Mine is VFP5.0a. I can easily reproduce this problem on my machine :

set deleted on
select mytable
delete all
select * from mytable && result is fine : empty cursor
select max(myfield) from mytable && bad result : single line cursor with a value

I don't believe I'm doing something wrong or overlook something, do I ?

Pascal.
