I think your problem is that you are using [AppendFile] (which doesn't treat the file as a database) rather than [Append] (which understands about databases and updates the RAM-cached copy of fields).Here is the note from the online docs about AppenFile:Note: AppendFile does not 'understand' databases. If you want to append a new record to the end of a database, use Append instead.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
