Hi Wang

PACK is not supposed to be done after each delete. You should PACK once a week or once a month instead. Its a maintenance function.

>With the above coding, I can insert data without using reindex and table work fine (So far so good). However for delete, I still have to open table exclusive so that I can pack after delete. But according to Frank, if I plan to work out a network application, table cannot be open exclusively ?? If so, how I can acheive packing after deletion without open the table exclusively ?
