With three servers you might have to write your own queueing function using a common memory space (i.e. the database) as the queue. I don't know of any other methods to achieve atomicity with three servers. I'm sure most people on the list know more about db than I do.

The problem is that each Server has to read and THEN write before the next one reads. Any ideas? BJ = = = Original message = = = > I have 3 computers accessing a SQL-server at the same time.

Almost all databases provide that functionality automatically. If one database client is writing to the data, other database clients won't be able to read or write that data until the first one is done. If one database client is reading the data, other database clients won't be able to write that data until the first one is done.
