using a free 26 dbf.
set resource is at 1,1
set deleted is ON

The problem: a deletion is not being seen by the program until 1.5 seconds go by.

The code deletes a record and then does a seek with a key that matches the deleted record and another record that was just inserted in the same table. The seek finds the first record, which is the deleted record.

We tried flush , locate and go (reccount()) but none worked at ensuring that the deleted record gets seen as being deleted. The only thing that worked was:
do while !deleted()
wait window 'record not deleted yet' timeout .1
enddo


Open to suggestions and ideas on how to get the deletion seen right away.
