go (recco())  && what does it print now ???


>?prNumber && still shows 11600 !

>In fact, machine 1 does not show the updated numbers, until I reboot the entire computer. After reboot, VFP reads the updated values, but then again stucks on those values until rebooted.

>Only VFP has that problem, when accessed with another program, the values are uptodate.

>What could be the reason for that and how can I solve that?

>I tried SET REFRESH TO 1, Flush IN after every replace, and do record lock (and sometimes file lock) whenever appropriate.

>Thank you for your help in advance.
