Hi Christof,

The problem I experienced was not due to a bug but rather my ignorance <g>.

Thank you for your help.

This happens when you change the primary key in a buffered table and then seek for the old value before you issue TABLEUPDATE. You end up being on the record that followed the old primary key. I think this applied to all fields. not just primary keys, if that record was the last one with a particular value.
