Yes, I issue TableUpdate for each tables, (.t.,.f.,[tables])

It does not return .f. to tableupdate command. However, it still jumps record pointer.

I did not noticed this behaviour earlier.

Why it is changing record pointer.

I was able to reproduce the error;

1. Open a Record (open a form) (e.g. recno() = 12)
2. mark the record as lock (repl rec_lock with .t.)
3. tableupdate(.t.,.f.,"tableA")
4. show form
5. change text under memo field (Editbox)
6. from within editbox, press ESC key 
7. ESC fires exit without save procedure 
8. tablerevert(.t.,"tableA")
9. unmark record (repl rec_lock with .f.)
10. tableupdate(.t.,.f.,"tableA")
11. hide form
12. move to another record (e.g. recno() = 15)
13. Open the record (recno() = 15)
14. lock record (repl rec_lock with .t.) (recno() = 15)
15. tableupdate(.t.,.f.,"tableA") 
16. Record pointer changes to recno() = 12

I don;t have any clue why this is happening??
