Try a simple test.  Create a 1-line prc:

     If: @CD eq ""
   Then: mesgbox "This is a new record."

Try it.

When you see that that works, then you'll need to examine the user's 
processing to see why it's not working there.

Is it in "normal" input processing?  (As opposed to, say, automatic or in 
@entsel, for example.)

Do they have a WRITE in processing which is executed prior to the @CD test?

Are they actually creating a new record, rather than updating an existing one?

Something else entirely?
