This is not the problem. Even if I set the buffering to Pesimistic Table, the second save is not getting the new value from the counters table. The field is updated with the new value but when I go and assign the value in tally record to equal the value in the counters record, I am still getting the value from BEFORE the first person saved. I am not getting the actual value that is in the table on the hard drive.

Doesn't No buffering behave the same as old foxpro? Therefore, it should be accessing the values from the hard drive and not some copy stored in memory?
