Hi,
I issue a tableupdate command when the save button is clicked. Basically, my code performs some checking to make sure there are no duplicates and then save the record using tableupdate(.T.). Before tableupdate command is issued I make sure that the correct table is selected. However, I find that the record is still not saved. I believe it is something to do with the table buffering.
Any idea why?

------code inside the save button-------
IF NOT Empty(This.Parent.tAlias) THEN
SELECT (This.Parent.tAlias)
ENDIF

&&validation
WITH THISFORMSET.FORM1.PAGEFRAME1.PAGE1
IF Empty(.fbrcode.Value) THEN
=MESSAGEBOX("Fbr code MUST NOT be blank", 64, "Error")
RETURN
ENDIF
IF Empty(.fbrname.Value) THEN
=MESSAGEBOX("Fbr name MUST NOT be blank", 64, "Error")
RETURN
ENDIF
IF Empty(.commision.Value) THEN
=MESSAGEBOX("commision MUST NOT be 0", 64, "Error")
RETURN
ENDIF

&&check for duplicate fbr code
LOCAL currec
currec = RECNO()

SEEK .fbrcode.Value
IF FOUND() AND RECNO() != currec THEN
=MESSAGEBOX("The fbr code already exists", 64, "Error")
GOTO currec
RETURN
ELSE
GOTO currec
ENDIF

&&everything ok....update table
=TABLEUPDATE(.T.)

.fbrcode.Refresh
.fbrname.ReadOnly = .T.
