>I have a small application that I use to keep track of properties, and a ticker file. There are only three tables: next unique key, property, and ticklers. The property and tickler table has a unique key (generated by adding 1 to the next unique key), date record modified and date record added.

>But, I will work on her added properties and she will work on mine. So I need to sync the fields on the property records. Also, the tickler records are added with the unique-key+sequence. It is not so important that the exact sequence it maintained, but guess I can use the date added to resequence new records.
