I'm not sure that will work. Check this out:

Use "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\Samples\Northwind\employeeterritories.dbf" In 0
Select EmployeeTerritories
? CursorSetProp("Buffering",5)
Update EmployeeTerritories Set TerritoryId=999999999 Where EmployeeId = 99999

If I am in the IDE with my talk/status settings, I get the message

Updated 0 records in 0.02 seconds

But that's not necessarily a VFP "error". How would you trap for that message otherwise - is it possible to throw some kind of exception or get a MSSQL-esque @@rowcount from the response.

My non-VFP app would otherwise be doing inserts all day, not knowing that VFP is actually throwing everything away, quietly.



Thanks.
