I've had similar problems with the REPLACE statement. I always select the workarea first.

An alternative is to use the SQL UPDATE command. You do not have to select a workarea with it.

UPDATE auth SET end = DATE(), ;
	uplog = ALLTRIM(GETENV("USR")) ;
WHERE auth.organization = org.organization AND ;
	(auth.end > DATE() OR EMPTY(auth.end))

>

>REPLACE auth.end WITH DATE(), ;
>	auth.uplog WITH ALLTRIM(GETENV("USR")) FOR ;
>	auth.organization = org.organization AND ;
>	(auth.end > DATE() OR EMPTY(auth.end)) ;
>	IN auth

>This coding is in while another table is selected (AUTH table is open but not active selected). This coding didn't update anything in the AUTH table? Did I overlooked something? I believe it did worked before (did many tests and appear it did it's code).
