You are touching an indexed field. VFP doesn't care what you are writing to that field, it just updates the table and subsequentally the index.

Let's assume NO BUFFERING for this scenario, but there IS an index (1 or more) using the MyField field in the .CDX file. If the MyTable.MyField current value is "MyValue", will this code cause any network traffic with the backend table even though the value is the same? REPLACE MyField WITH "MyValue" IN MyTable Or is VFP smart enough to say "yeah, I'm not updating it with the same value. Next." ??? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/005101d579c7$f35a1e80$da0e5b80$@wondzinski.de ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
