tableupdate() will save the records to the database. Issueing skip or anything else will be up to you. Personally I don't rely on anthing but tableupdate() make sure my data is saved. You can look at getfldstate() and getnextmodified() to see if your data is saved.

>>You don't need to issue an update statement with remote views. Just moving the record pointer will send the update if buffering is 3. If buffering is 5 then you need to issue a tableupdate(). You can also issue a tableupdate() with 3. Make sure the PK is checked in the view designer.
