It sounds like it is doing what you told it too... you seem to have your code structured like:

SCAN
   Replace city with "" for  suburb = city
ENDSCAN

Which to me would be more correct as:

Replace ALL city with "" for  suburb = city

OR

SCAN
   if suburb = city
      Replace city with "" for  suburb = city
   endif
ENDSCAN

OR

If you want to do other things in the loop, you may want to do:

SCAN FOR suburb = city
   Replace city with ""
ENDSCAN

FYI: This works the same in Fox 2.6 and VFP 7.0
