>Sounds like a good solution, but I'll have to do some studying on buffering, tableupdate, and tablerevert. This is another part of VFP that I haven't used. Can you give me some guidelines as to how to go about using these? Thanks, CH.

Chuck,

Start with the manual - particularly the chapter on Shared Access. Then take a look at the very simplified examples in the help text (tableupdate() and tablerevert(), and finally give it a try with a simple table and prg. When you get stuck, post a message. You'll always get an answer :-)
