Graham, In a lighter vein, my mother always used to say on the question to flush or not to flush:

I had a bit of a problem a couple of years ago with the same scenario but we had two systems accessing the parameter table. The first was our old FPD 2.6 system and the other our newer VFP7 system. It appeared that VFP was cacheing the table and could not tell that the old system had updated it, even though we were using RLOCK() then unlock etc. What I had to do to make it work was get VFP to close the table after it had got the number. It gave me a right headache with duplicate barcode numbers. :-( Peter [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
