>Today I had a client call me and say that they had a scrolling message in the status bar which said: "Record not available ... please wait". I discovered this is a message VFP displays when a "Transaction" is running and using a record that another users needs. However, I have never used transactions and there are no transactions in this application. The application does have two grids side by side used for matching records. I generally have avoided using grids in my applications for years but this customer wanted them. So I am wondering whether the grids are somehow causing this issue and whether they use transactions internally for any reason.

Do you use referential integrity in VFP? If yes, then transactions are inside the trigger.
