This is a repost and clarification of a problem I am having.
Visual Foxpro, files on a Novell Server

The problem is that occasionally the 1st record of a multiple record update
is not updated. I need to force the update. Tables are on a server via
Novell.

The general structure is of the code.

SCAN FOR expr

some calculations
RLOCK(inventory table')
REPLACE field with value
...
IN inventorytable

TABLEUPDATE(0,.T.,'inventorytable')
UNLOCK IN inventorytable

ENDSCAN

The main program has the command SET PROCESS 5. The form uses a private data
session for the main form and inherits it for the called forms.

I know I can check the return code of the TABLEUPDATE command. If it fails what do I do?

Some one suggested it may be the Novell drivers. How can I check?

Any help suggestions appreciated.
