Even if I replace a field with the same value it had in my app, the record doesn't get deleted. Do you have some kind of rule in your database that might be causing this?

You can surround code with < pre> and < /pre> (without the space after the < ) to save your indenting and add color coding.

The reason I don't think it is a bug in my code is that you can issue a browse immediatly before the tableupdate and the record is there. Then immediatly after the tableupdate issue another browse and the record is still there, but it is marked for deletion. See code below. (BTW, how do I get the code to appear indented in these posts?)
