I think you are seeing the value in the field before the table is updated. Place another wait window after your tableupdate and see what is there. By the way what is happening to the record? Is it being saved correctly?

Using REPLACE invno WITH ThisForm.Nextinv IN inv_hdr is a better way to go. Then you will be in the correct work area.
