The best information that I've found into the mysterious world of table cells is in one of Eric's Tutorial stacks - warts and all - we're waiting for the Rev team to come up with a better table object. http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/?r=revolution_didacticiels&l=en if you're in a hurry, just s

Hi Eric Yes I am aware of this and the first attempt had the test directly after the save. The delay was put in to see if this cured the problem. I think you missed the point though. The problem I have is that saving over a network can take some time, several seconds and it seems that Rev continu
