>It opens a handle to any file, including a DBF, then calls FlushFileBuffers on that file. That writes all unsaved data in that file to disk, not just data that were written via this low-level file handle. So, for example, if you just did a TABLEUPDATE() on Customers.DBF, you'd use Mr. Moody's code to open Customers.dbf with another filehandle and flush the data to disk. You'd also need to use it on Customers.FPT and Customers.CDX. Cumbersome, perhaps, but very effective.

Thank you for the clarification, Tom.

I will reevaluate this function in light of the above.

The documentation for this function is pretty vague on this point, simply referring to "the file". Is this specific information documented somewhere ?
