>I have a function that needs to move around a dbf and then return to the record where the call was made. Should I seek my way back or is a GOTO okay?

Just to add one gotcha (not for you, you probably know this, but for the benefit of our newbies) - if you have table buffering on, recno() will be negative for added records. If you tableupdate() meanwhile, these records will get their real record numbers. If you tried to save the recno() and then tried to GOTO such a saved number, and that number was negative, you may be out of luck.

Other than that, yes, of course it's saver. The question is what's more reliable. If you know exactly what you're doing, go. I mean, GoTo.
