Hi,

>that is, what I expected. But somehow I am confused about the Begin Transaction - End Transaction - Rollback squence. The VFP help say to End Transaction.

When will these changes be "commited" finally, i.e. will be placed into the resp. tables within the SQL server? With each TableUpdate() or only after all reported "Could be done" (returned 5 times .T.), i.e. after the End Transaction?

ROLLBACK should leave everything in the state if was in at the point the BEGIN TRANSACTION was issued, i.e. any TABLEUPDATES() issued in the interim would be undone and any buffered changes would still exist. But, as Srdjan pointed out, with remote views you also need to manage the transaction on the server.
