Well, depending on if you are editing the fields or memvars, and if you are using locking or not. But, basically, if someone 'discards changes' don't do the gather, if you are editing memvars, and scatter again.

If you are editing memvars then you did the scatter to maintain the original values, then do a gather.

Does this make sense?

Although as a few people said, if you are using VFP you really should move to using buffereing. Basically it builds scatter/gather right into the system which you can manage with tableupdate(), tablerevert(), getnextmodified() etc.
