Pertti,
He doesn't exactly say that. However even if he did there are cases you might want to. Bug he demonstrated really scares me.
PS: I was totally wrong in previous thread. I simply couldn't think GetNextModified() would apply to table buffering only.
Fabio is a perfect bug catcher, isn't he :) Hope he gets involved in VFP beta testing (if not already).
