Hi,

I have a query that I use to build up the data for a report. The process is that user 1 creates a record (an invoice in this case), then user 2 creates a record in another table related to the record created by user 1 (a receipt against the invoice). When creating the receipts, the invoice is displayed on user 2's screen. A receipt can be made against an old invoice and the new one at the same time.

When the receipt is saved I run a query against the source tables to produce the receipt. The majority of times, the receipt only pulls the data from the old invoice. This made me think there is some kind of caching going on as the users are on different workstations. So I tried SET REFRESH TO 0, -1 before running the query, but that had no effect. I also ensured the hard disk cache was switched off, that also had no effect. However, grasping at straws, I ran the query twice and 29 times out of 30 this works.

FOR i = 1 to 2
   SELECT ....
ENDFOR

Can anyone think of anything else to try?

Thanks,
