Hi: All the DML is controlled by the stored procedure at the database level. Any insert/ update /select is done by calling a stored procedure within the forms6. As a result the forms is being used as front end for display only. It appears that locking problem will be resolved by this. Or is it so? When an update is issued, the Stored procedure updates/inserts all the columns in the table. It does not check for the column that has changed only. So when two users update the same row, the result could technically be misleading. All Architets Gurus what are the pros / Cons of using this sort of Design ? I would prefer using the Forms6i Lock mechanism rather than used stored Procedure to control it ... Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
