Thank you for your response!

Although I have many years working exprience on Foxpro 2.5, I am a greenhorn on Visual Foxpro.

I am now working with a project to upgrade a program from Win Foxpro 2.5 to Visual Foxpro and make it support multiuser. The existing program had designed to work with some tables named temp???.dbf. In order to avoid multi-user conflicts in the new program, I suppose I should refine these temp???.dbf(s) to temporary files (CURSORS) and put them on the form. Data in the temporary files can be validated before transferred to the DBF tables.

Your advice is appreciated.
