Further Info

I have included this code in the method that keeps reverting the Recno(), and now it works fine.
I cut and pasted these line from my VFP window, just so there is no chance of typo. They are EXACTLY as they
appear in my code. (Just in case you still don't believe me, I acknowledge that these 3 lines accomplish
NOTHING ---- except make the procedure work properly).

          lnRecno = RECNO()
          WAIT WINDOW '' TIMEOUT .001
          GOTO lnRecno

If I comment out these 3 lines, or just comment out the "wait window" line,
then somehow Recno() goes back to record 1 at the location where these 3 lines are inserted.

I have definitely determined that prior to the "wait window" Recno()=lnRecno (not 1), but after the
"wait window" Recno()=1.

Can someone explain this?
