Hey John,

Been awhile... Got a bug for ya (VFP7):

USE "c:\program files\microsoft visual foxpro 7\samples\data\customer.dbf" IN 0 SHARED
CURSORTOXML("customer", "lcXML", 1, 8, 0, "1")
?XMLTOCURSOR(lcXML, "test", 4) && Returns 92 records which is correct
CURSORSETPROP("Buffering",5,"test")
DELETE ALL
TABLEUPDATE(.T.)
?RECCOUNT("test") && Still returns 92 records, but shows no records in browse window
