>I have two apps. App 1 is the main and app2 is a supporting app. I make a request from app 1. I have a flag field in a table that app 1 is watching to change. App 2 starts runs sends the flag to app 1 but app 1 never lets me know its changed. Can some one help?

Steven, could you provide more details?

Are your apps separate EXEs, or are they two .APP files running in one VFP session?
What kind of buffering do thy use?
How app1 is watching that field to change?
How app2 sends the flag to app1? (I assume it just changes the field value in its own datasession).
