Jim:
Q1.
it is not necessary to set exclusive .T. in multiuser environment?!!?

Q2.
refer your point 2, if i didn't use pack for delete record, how can VFP delete the marked record for me?!

Q3.
is any other method that can delete the record from the table, but will not cause the problem (something like disconnection....). and if i only set delete on for the record, will the record appear in an other user in another mechine?!

THX~!
