I will report the wrong text in Help to Francis Faure who is responsible for fixing this.
>I have VFP SP 2. I have downloaded the new help file you suggested (thanks for the link), but the help for BEGIN TRANSACTION still says
Transactions are supported only for tables in a database ;)
>
>I wasn't aware of the function MAKETRANSACTABLE. Thanks for pointing that out.
>
>There's some restrictions in using that function, so Tommy should read the help on MAKETRANSACTABLE before using it (like the use of the function ISTRANSACTABLE and restrictions about row/table buffering).

>>I suggest that you update your version of VFP to VFP9, or your help file! You can download the new help here:
