I'm still curious about why you pass the field value to source(). Can't source() just read the value from the cursor, since it has the field name?

I also see that you skip the validation if Ovalid.nLocked=0. I'm trying to develope a class that skips the validation on the underlying DBF() during a TABLEUPDATE(), if it's already been done in the View. Any chance that's what your Ovalid.nLocked=0 is doing?
