Hi Mike, I have seen this coding style sometimes. Yes, you can change the APPEND BLANK / REPLACE combos with an INSERT INTO without any negative siedeeffects.

Well a minor difference, I think: APPEND BLANK / REPLACE changes the RECNO() to the record being added to, where INSERT INTO may not. If other code tries a REPLACE without locating the proper record, you could end up changing the wrong one following an INSERT INTO. A good reason to be cautious when mixing XBase with SQL is the first thinks there is a "current record" where SQL does not.
