The problem is the fastest auditors can get ahead of the screen updates.  As
of a few weeks ago they could get so far ahead they would lose data.

  <SNIP>
 Each transaction is written to a history file
which is opened and closed for each write.  I could leave it open and
eliminate the open and close on each transaction.

This is PC-type programming and is a common trick (on PC's) to ensure the data doesn't get lost in an OS buffer. It is not necessary on the Palm OS. So don't keep opening and closing the database.
