>I've thought about trying FLUSH, but there's no documentation as to whether this will have any effect, as Jim noted. Might be worth a try, though it may be extremely difficult to test, if you think about it :) Another idea that would work, I'm certain, is a table close, if it can be done without interrupting the interface, but that may be a problem...

One thing to try is to open the table Again (in a different session, maybe), replace, update, replace back (maybe just toggle one logical somewhere) and close it in this other alias. That should refresh its disk image, right?
