>Forget about that approach, you are only creating problems for yourself. Either you follow some of the tips I gave you, or you use for instance MSSQL server as data storage. I do the latter, it's much more stable, it's faster with many users and it's expandable. I now only use DBFs for some lookup tables which I include in the exe, for everything else I use SQL server and cursors.

Now you're talking!

>>>1. Never use general fields. NEVER!!!
