You will see network traffic, however small, as the update occurs.

Scenario: VFP9SP2 on modern Windows operating system using DBFs. Let's assume NO BUFFERING for this scenario, but there IS an index (1 or more) using the MyField field in the .CDX file.
If the MyTable.MyField current value is "MyValue", will this code cause any network traffic with the backend table even though the value is the same?
REPLACE MyField WITH "MyValue" IN MyTable
Or is VFP smart enough to say "yeah, I'm not updating it with the same value. Next."
