Hi Barbara,

>Row buffering is the default if you don't change it for the cursor. I agree the situation does seem kind of weird, but opening Customer as read-only might fix it. (This is definately NOT a view, right?) You know that even if you replace a field with the same contents, VFP considers it a dirty buffer. Would you have done anything like that?

Yup, it is NOT a view. I also did not replace a field with same contents. When you say "read-only" which property do you set?

Thanks again
Dennis
