Vincent,

use the in clause of the replace command, see bold below

>the situation : i have a table open in the current workarea wich is at the eof() (working with vfp 7.0)
>if i try the next lines on another table, a blank record is appended to that table, but the replace command doesnt do anything.
>
>****lot's of not relevant code
>APPEND BLANK IN creport
>replace creport.date_report WITH date() in creport
>
>
>Here cverslag.date_report stays empty
>
>if i put an extra select statement (wich i think shouldn't be necessary), it works perfectly.
>
>select creport
>append blank in creport
>replace creport.date_report WITH date()
>
>Is this a bug? or has creport has to be in the currently selected workarea for the replace statement to function correctly?
