Not sure, what point you were trying to make. MereMortals is a good framework, I like it.

Jim found, that the problem was with the FLUSH FORCE command. He thought, it was in MereMortals. However, it's me who added this command. And today I figured, that I should not have add this command in the Save method of business object. So I'm going to remove it.

In other words, I unadvertenly introduced this problem myself. However, we now learnt to be cautious using FLUSH FORCE command.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
