Are you only working with the Dabo cursor class directly? Or are you using the UI and bizobj, too?

If you're using the UI, whether in Dabo or VFP, you click on a grid row or navigate with buttons to get to the record you want. Then you modify the values as needed, and click the Save button to save. There is no difference at all, except for the delete behavior mentioned earlier.

I'm curious as to how you are able to modify specific fields of specific records in the VFP CA without somehow selecting the correct record, modifying the value, and calling TABLEUPDATE() or its equivalent.
