>>>>Managing and recovering from data collisions is strictly a Network Administration issue. When developing network or multiuser applications, it is absolutely NO concern of the developer how packets of data are handled by the network, regardless of what type of network you're using. If you are losing data or experiencing application problems due to data collisions, then your network administrators should either be tap dancing like mad to fix it, or packing their bags and cleaning out their desks. HTH

I know how that is... I did like 6 years of Government subcontracting and had to put up with never-ending network problems being blamed on everybody *BUT* the ones getting the fat payroll to support it. (thus my sensitivity ;) ) I guess its a trade-off... I now put up with the non-stop Access vs. FoxPro battle plus relating all my work effort to "how many pagers/cell phones is it gonna help sell" in lieu of the old b.s. of "point the finger and keep on smiling all the way to the bank" game. (big chuckle) The morale of the story here is...

Hell hath no Fury like the Rox-app scorned by network traffic (LOL)
