**TryUpdate, PROC**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **TryUpdate **method changes (rewrites) the current record. The TryUpdate method does not attempt to handle errors that occur while changing the record.

The Update method provides a slightly different (auomatic) alternative for changing records.

**Implementation:**

TryUpdate tries to change the record. If it succeeds, it returns Level:Benign (declared in ABERROR.INC). If it fails, it returns the severity level of the error it encountered while trying to change the record. See //Error Class// for more information on severity levels.

**This method does not handle referential integrity (RI) between related files. The RelationManager class enforces RI between related files.**

**Return Data Type:**     BYTE
