Hi Jayesh,

Why would you need to zap a file frequently? I think there must be another way of solving this problem rather than finding an alternative which would allow for zaping. Maybe you can overwrite the same general field all the time?

>I have a table which has a single general field always holding the picture of the current record. I need to zap the file frequently as i navigate in the form so that it can hold the picture of the current record. for zapping i need to open the file exclusively in the data env. of the form. Same table is used in the other forms and is used exclusively there too. though the forms are having private data session i cannot open the two forms at a time since that table is opened exclusively in both the forms. Even this may create problems if forms are opened on diff. terminals in a network.
