I am sharing a table over a peer to peer network, and am a little confused about how local memory caching affects my data. If I append a blank to a table, the machine that appended the blank will see that record, but will other machines on the network? Would they have to wait until that machines cache is written out of cache? If the file server were to be shut off would it necessarily have that record saved? Is there anyway for VFP to even know if the data was really stored versus put into a cache by the OS? Thanks for any input on this subject. I'm trying to figure out how a customer could have gotten two different record counts from the same table.

Thanks,
Marcus.
