Yet another reason for converting. I'll have to have a word with my boss ...

Ideal candidate for transactioms. But, I assume I can't include these tables in a VFP dbc for fear of "future-tainting" them for the FPD app.

>>Sure, I guess I'll have to do it with temp tables but there's STILL that problem when these have to overwrite the live data.
