>What is the best way to handle record deletes in a multi-user environment? Can I do a pack from a form with a buffer mode of 3 'Optimistic Row Buffering'? I know I need to use the file exclusivly, but when do I process the delete? I know I could have a seperate table to show which files need to be packed, but when would I issue the pack? Also how do I get the deleted() records not to show on the form?


Hi Greg,

Nick is right. It is not advisable to pack the record online within data
entry forms. You can make a saperate utility and put it under house-keeping
option which does the Packing and Reindexing.
