Hi Mark,

I will expect someone to correct me. The answer is yes and no. If you have an error handler and you try to =tableupdate(), and then an error is encountered, the error handler will process the reported error from the =tableupdate(). If you do not code your error handler to except the error, the process will stop there. If you do tell the error handler to go ahead and retry - then you will in effect set your reprocess to AUTOMATIC.

I strongly recommend you use transaction processing to work around this error if you expect difficulty. Also, I would insist on buffering to avoid complete locking of a file.
