Accountants... How about a ER doc waiting on lab results for cardiac enzymes? I can hear it now: "Sorry Doc, something else locked the record. Your patient's test request was skipped so we could implement a trivial solution that was suggested for deadly embrace. Try again, and hope for the best that it goes through this time." Robert F.

I've encountered deadly embraces between two phantom routines. Your first solution works, if we have the luxury of skipping locked records. Some update routines, don't have that luxury as most accountants will let you know quite clearly with loud noises and waving of arms. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
