I tried for kicks video sync and that didn't change them either.  
I DO remember recently writing something that did a "popup  -,<sc>" 
type command and it did update the record even though, I think, 
there were only dummy fields on the popup and it subsequently did 
not (by my code) write any individual field to the record it was 
standing on.

Yes, he must either have something after what he supplied (or maybe 
a write in automatic.
