>Has anyone looked at the locking behavior of _Access and _Assign methods? I know for example that the _Assign method will not fire if it changes its own property. I suspect that the property being managed by the _Access or _Assign method cannot be changed while the code is running. Does anyone know if other property values can be changed from outside the object while one property's _Access or _Assign code is running?

What about the _Access/_Assign bug. Apparently the _Assign method plays havoc with the GetFldState() method. Especially, if you are using an _Assign method on a form which also happens to navigate through a table. Every time you navigate to a new record the _Assign fires and unfortunately the GetFldState at this point acts as if a change has been made to the data.

I'm paraphrasing but this comes from an article in the LA Fox Developer written by Russell Campbell.
