hi robert

thanks for replying

my situation here is i cannot force the table to update.
savedata method in my form
sele a
lSelectA=tableupdate(.t.)

(sele a =Bank table) if one user updates it while other is updating i have to get the latest bank balance for the second user.but the message Table is in use appears for the second user,since lSelectA is false for the second user,all i want to do is save the second users data with the updated balance in other words do the savedata process again,but i keep getting the message table is in use by another user.
