Hi!

RecNo() returns negative number for new added record. In the help file for recno() function I read following:

>>>>
RECNO( ) returns negative numbers for records appended in a table buffer.
>>>>

HTH.

I am using pessimistic table buffering and it appears as though it doesn't matter how many records I add and commit with tableupdate(). Each time i append a blank record and do recno() it tells me the pointer is at
>-1. I understand that recno() will give negative numbers for buffered tables but I think it should change from -1 after the first record is added.
