Hi Jim,

Thank you for replying to my post, here is as much information that I have currently have. However, I am able to re-create this error consistently so if there is more I can do to help you help me just let me know what I should do.

The line of tableupdate code (straight from the Hackers guide on table update) is
IF NOT TableUpdate(2, .T., laALIAS, aSaveErrors)
* force changes on all rows, but just in case, track
* any errors in an array
* You'll want something a little more sophisticated here.
set step on (my code so I could see the results)
WAIT WINDOW "Unexpected problem with " + ;
ALEN(aSaveErrors,1) + " records"
ENDIF

laAlias is the remote view name

TableUpdate(2,.T.,remoteview name, aSaveErrors) returns –1 in the array aSaveErrors

Cursorgetprop(‘Buffering’) = 3
Cursorgetprop(‘SourceType’) = 1
GetFldState(-1) = 112111111111
aerror(laError) as follows
LaError[1,1] = 10
LaError[1,2] = Syntax Error
(I stand corrected from my early post)

Table update returned "syntax error". I was unsure what this means because all I did was remove / delete 7 character from the end of this entry "$ 20 / 50% testing" so the value after editing was "$ 20 / 50%" (this is a character field in a remote view). Do you have any ideas? What else should I look for so you can help me with this issue.

Thank you for your help

Andy
