>>PS: Since you use buffering do you really need scatter-gather approach. You might directly use tables and do a tableupdate() to commit (like gather) or tablerevert() to discard. If delete is on a new record you don't need to delete it just tablerevert(). But if that sounds complex you can still use scatter-gather:)

I can't keep track on how many forms are these and if there is a grid in question. If there is a grid then try :

select patient
if !eof()
go recno()
endif

This is a kind of refresh for grid.
