>I have a question regarding the tableupdate() command. I was wondering if there was a way, programmatically, to check if a tableupdate() would succeed without it actually doing the update. Something along the lines of a PeekTableUpdate(). The reason for my question is that I have two tables that get updated at the same time and I would like my code to be more elegent in the case of one tableupdate() succeeding and the other one fails. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Mark, wrap your update code in a BEGIN TRANSACTION / END TRANSACTION command. Since each TableUpdate() will return a .T. if it succeeds you can watch for a .F. return, write the appropriate message to the user and do a ROLLBACK.
