Scatter and Gather are no longer needed in VFP because you have what is called table buffering. You can use either optimistic/pessimistic file/record buffering. You also can use the functions TableRevert() and TableUpdate() when using buffering. You should read the VFP help on all of this and search the UT for previous threads on all of this. I personally use Optimistic record buffering most of the time. When you move off a record that has beed edited, that record is "automatically updated" (record lock after changes; pessimistic locks when editing is initiated). TableRevert explicitly reverts all changes while TableUpdate explicitly commits changes.
