HI Jim, The SAVEROW saves the screen buffer to the database, if I understand this correctly. The RBASE help details EEP specific commands and the SAVEROW is one of them.
Placing the SAVEROW after the update causes the error message as the underlying table has been updated while the screen was editing that database record. Are you asking a general question or is there something specific you are trying to do?
