Jose,

I suppose that the NewId() is in the Default clause of the field. An append blank will fill the record with the default values. Hence that is when the NewId() is called.

That is not really a problem as I see it since a TableUpdate() is only trying to permanently 'write' the values in the buffer to disk.
