    CLEAR
    SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
    SET SAFETY OFF
    SET MULTILOCKS ON
    CREATE Table Demo74 ( cTest C(10))
    INDEX ON cTest TAG cTest CANDIDATE
    USE
    =MESSAGEBOX('Start Part One')
    USE Demo74
    =CursorSetProp("Buffering", 5)
    FOR lnI = 1 TO 10
       APPEND BLANK
       REPLACE cTest WITH Sys(2015)
    ENDFOR
    APPEND BLANK
    REPLACE cTest WITH '12345'
    =MESSAGEBOX('Start Part Two')
    ? 'Reccount(), Recno() ', Reccount(), Recno()
    ? 'GetFldState(-1) ', GetFldState(-1)
    * Comment out the next line if running in VFP 3.
    ? 'TableUpdate(1, .t.) ', TableUpdate(1, .t.)
    *Uncomment the next line if running in VFP 3.
    * ? 'TableUpdate(1, .t.) ', TableUpdate(.t., .t.)
    ? 'Reccount(), Recno() ', Reccount(), Recno()
    ? 'GetFldState(-1) ', GetFldState(-1)
    ? 'Eof() ', Eof()
    *Uncomment the next line if running in VFP 3.
    * =TableRevert(.t.)
    USE
    					
  2. Save and run the code (the name is unimportant).
  3. Start another instance of VFP and run the same code.
  4. Switch to the first instance of VFP and click Start Part One.
  5. Switch to the second instance of VFP and click Start Part One.
  6. Switch to the first instance and click Start Part Two.
  7. Switch to the second instance and click Start Part Two. The record pointer in the second instance is on a record that does not exist in the table.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
