>I figured I'd blow the description :>) As an example - temporder.onorder = 6, Styles.onorder = 3, after committing the changes, styles.onorder = 9 BUT styles.howmany should be 6. 99% of the time this is true but we are seeing cases where 5 is stored in this case. Maybe 4. The .plabel and .howmany fields are used to print subsequent product labels for the PO. The problem was discovered after a run Saturday AM. 786 items were ordered - 784 lables were printed. In no case did the IIF() evaluate to .T.

Well, this probably would not make any difference, but I would slightly change this command

scan
  lnOrder = tempOrder.OnOrder
  replace onorder WITH onorder + m.lnOrder, ;
      plabel WITH .T., ;
      howmany WITH IIF(categoryid = "8",1,m.lnOrder) in Styles
