Before you issue TableUpdate, the records are buffered and assigned negative record numbers. After you issue TableUpdate, they are physicially added to the table with positive record numbers, therefore all negative records are gone. If you want the record pointer to be on the same record, you should issue a SEEK or LOCATE to get back to the record, not RECNO().
