I put it in as it cannot hurt it would seem. In this case, I have
prechecked to make sure the node does not exist, so it is never going to
find a match.
Thanks for the feedback from you and Greg. The code works now.

I may be wrong, but I believe the "?+" could be read as "search for,
and if not found, then add". As Greg said, "+" means absolute adding
of a record. So I think you DO need the "?"

Right. But without it, you're (trying to) add an entry unconditionally.
Depending on how the file is set up, you may get a duplicate or an error.
The semantics of "?+" are essentially the same as LAYGO in Classic
Fileman.
