Frankly, Terry, that MSKB article confuses me... it directly says things happen differently than some SDK pages I read recently. Maybe because it is describing Win NT?

Now I'd also say that we learned recently that the FLUSH command relies on the OS' "lazy writer" (can't see what else it would be) to accomplish it's work (MSKB #281281), so I can't see how the FLUSH command would ameliorate anything here.

Note, also, that the MSKB article Paul supplied speaks to Win NT specifically.

so... I don't know for this instance.
