Sorry to jump in but are you absolutely sure that the current table is the one you think it is - I know that selecting a grid will often change the current alias so when you come back to the Locate it may be doing it on the wrong table - just a thought.

I often do a explicit Select before a Locate just to make sure.

>Hi Jim, I tried that too and it didn't work. I have a grid on the same page, when my user clicks on the grid selection, the data in fields below change. Can the grid be affecting the locating of the records? Deletes doesn't seem to work either, it won't refresh my grid with new data event though sendupdate is .t. I changed the thisform.f to a local variable:
>
>zx = a__gen12(1,1)
>LOCATE FOR lv_veh_assign.a_uniqueid = zx
>
>But that didn't work either.
