HModify()

Hi
I have a query I created in the visual designer and I work with the query in code. I do not have it in any type of window control. This is just some processing I do to the data. My question is this. If the query is not being used by any window control do I still need to do a ScreenToFile after I call HModify() to save the data. When I do a Hmodify I want the actual data file updated permanently and I am not using any window controls at all with the query data. The HModify is on the query, does this write to the file if you are not using any window controls. Or do I need to do a screen to file even though I am not using any window controls? The help file shows I need to use the screen to file but I don't see why.

Thanks for any help.

You don't need but then you need to do this (I think ):
HRead(MyQuery)
MyQuery.Field1=Somevalue
MyQuery.Field2=Somevalue
and so on, and so on
HModify(MyQuery, hcurrentRecNum)

Also, You need to start query with HexecuteQuery(Myquery, hModifyFile)

Hello John

Are you using the hModifyFile constant when you run your query?

Yes DW, thanks

Thank you too ICI. Will try this. I'll let everyone know if it worked after I try it.
