Basically it does the right thing in all cases: if you don't specify a field, then it remains untouched during replace, if you *do* specify a field with a value (even a blank value), then that overrides the old field contents. And naturally when appending a new record via append=T, if a fieldname is not specified, then it has no choice but to simply leave the field empty.Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | Formerly, Pacific Coast Software 16855 West Bernardo Drive | ------------------------- Suite 380 | eCommerce (WebCatalog) San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development 858.675.1106 | http://www.smithmicro.com 858.675.0372 (fax) **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
