George,

Write behind caching was enabled. We disabled it an haven't experienced an update problems since.

Thanks,
Joe

>>One other thing to consider. SQL Server (all versions) depend on there being no write behind caching. IOW, if the server is set-up to allow write behind, that may be the source if your problem. Inside SQL Server 7.0 documents this. What I'm guessing may be occurring is that between the TABLEUPDATE() and REQUERY() the updates haven't been committed to the disk.
