Flush, Unlock, Record. Why I used these words?
I have a record locked (RLOCK). There's no buffering scheme.
I change a Logical field using a checkbox with the Controlsource set to the field, but I do not leave the record.
I press a button that starts a new EXE that uses the same record.
It must use the changed value, but it didn't.
So I tried FLUSH before calling the new EXE. Didn't help.
So I tried FLUSH FORCE before calling the new EXE. Didn't help.
So I tried UNLOCK before calling the new EXE. This did help.
This does not make sense to me. Hackfox tells me that FLUSH
empties all internal buffers of data (which have nothing to do with record or table buffering) to be written to disk. How does this match with what I read in the original Help which says:
You can use FLUSH to explicitly save to disk all changes that you make to all open tables and indexes.?

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
