Pat,

I believe the triggers act in the way of << v11 Transaction. If your
trigger

is returning a value in $0, all your changes inside the trigger are

nullified. Are you returning anything besides 0 once the trigger is
done?

Best

Achim,

You are absolutely right! I did that and it worked.

Thanks for saving my sanity :)

Can anybody see why this doesn't work?

This runs in a method that is called from the trigger for the
Categories

table:

READ WRITE([Table1])

CREATE EMPTY SET([Table1];"lockedset")

QUERY([Table1];[Table1]MainCategoryNumber=$1)

APPLY TO SELECTION([Table1];[Table1]MainCategoryName:=$2)

Pat,

I seem to remember that APPLY TO SELECTION sometimes has problems when

called directly with a parameter ($1, $2, ...). Try using a local
variable

instead...
