        No, because again, that's dependent on the backend. All that the  
WHERE type buys you in VFP is the ability to detect such conflicts  
ahead of time. If there is a conflict with a field that you are  
updating and you select WHERE type of 1, Fox will merrily overwrite  
the changed values. Some backends don't allow you to do that, due to  
various locking schemes that deal with timestamps and such. Rather  
than try to handle every possible conflict scenario for every  
possible backend, I left it up to the developer to handle.
