>You may want to create a generic method ("m_Close") that is called by the Destroy method, Query unload method (I've never tested if the QueryUnload call Destroy, but I will now) and any other "exit" type buttons and this "close" method would handle reverting of updating data as needed. It would be within this method that you could trap for table update errors.

>>>I'm working on a VFP 5.0 multi-user application. It's using optimistic table buffering. On occasion a user will get an UPDATE CONFLICT error message when closing a screen. I've been able to duplicate the error, but I'm not sure how to solve the problem. It doesn't generate the error on the TABLEUPDATE() command. It happens when you try to close a screen. It seems to have a problem closing a table in the data environment.

In TABLEUPDATE(.T.,.T.) what is the second parameter for?
I am currently using TABLEUPDATE(.T.).
