Thanks Helen... I was originally thinking along those lines, however
it begs the question:

If I open a record in a cursor, and EDIT it, post it, and look at the
data again (fieldbyname), I see that my record is still there and the
changes have been made.

What do you think would be happening here to allow this data to be
retained?
