It sounds more to me like it is a refresh problem on the local workstation. It is like the local station is working with a table that is not current in its data so it doesn't know what ahs appened on another station. Of course we could gues at the why's and wherefores all day long and it won't change anything. If you have a reproducable exempls of this tehn report it to microsoft so they can fix it. http://support.microsoft.com/Support/vfoxpro/report/report.asp
