>>Before you mess around with these settings, have you taken Michael Cummings' advice? In multi-user xBASE, the only way you can be guaranteed to be reading current data is to obtain an RLOCK() on the row you need (or an FLOCK() on the table).

I believe an explicit locking approach should be tested first. Why penalize all VFP and non-VFP apps running on the workstation by turning off disk caching, if it turns out to be unnecessary?
