Cristof,

>>In this thread no one could come with an example which was in benefit in favout of the DELETED() tag.

>That's the point. I'm talking about real-world application on a real-world network. A sample simplifies this too much. Especially taking into account that most data you write into a DBF in a sample program remains in the cache until you restart the computer.

I develop real world applications in a real network and i did never discover any benefit to the DELETED() tag.

>>Many of them used arguments which were simply NOT true or complete. Some of those where some real prominent VFP developers.

>Why are they not true?

When some say that if you don't have an index on deleted() rushmore won't work, i would say this is simply not true (markus egger). and some give an example which should show the benefit of DELETED() turned out to be just something that was overlooked (example David Frankenbach).

>I think we should agree on disagreeing.

Agreed.
