Thanks for your help

Do you know if there are any other 'surprises' to do with hacking SCX as
I am going to be doing a lot of this over the coming weeks ?

Gerard

INSERT BLANK

Or you can do something like

>* Position pointer on the record after wich you want to insert new record
>...
>lnTempFile = SYS(2015)
>SKIP
>lnRecno = RECNO()
>COPY REST TO (lnTempFile )
>GOTO ( lnRecno )
>DELETE REST
>* APPEND or INSERT new record
>...
>APPEND FROM (lnTempFile )
>PACK
>ERASE (lnTempFile )
>

I hope, you would do this on the copy of the SCX. :)
