>Hello All,

>Can anyone please help me to understand why the recno() command returns -1 in a buffered table. 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.
Newly appended records have negative numbers: -1, -2, -3, etc.
As soon as you TableUpdate() successfully, the records get their permanent record numbers assigned.
