I'm using VFP 8 on Win2k and have a database error upon attempting a SQL INSERT, as in the following code. The snippet of code comes from a form in which users may add new vendors to a vendor list.

After first finding out if the vendor already exists (the view doesn't have an index) the first INSERT adds a record to a local view, while the second one attempts to do so for the parent.

The first INSERT succeeds, but upon execution of the second INSERT statement, the update trigger for the vendor field- there's a rule to prevent the field from being EMPTY()- the trigger fails, and my user-defined failure message appears.

In stepping through the code, I can see that all of the values to be inserted do indeed exist. In addition, if I attempt a similar action at the command line- doing an INSERT into the table- there is no failure. I'd be very grateful if anyone could tell me why. Thanks!
