Hi Emanuele.

>>I think I know what the problem is: if you pass .T. for the lForce parameter in the TABLEUPDATE() statement, VFP overrides the UpdateType property and always sends DELETE followed by INSERT to the database. Change your code to pass .F. instead and see if that fixes the problem.

Good news -- this behavior is changing. When VFP 8 is released, the lForce parameter for TABLEUPDATE() will no longer have an impact on UpdateType.
