There is nothing that prevents you from using that approach with Filemaker also if you want to; or you could use the easier native record locking options. I don't quite understand how you lock a record without knowing what record you're locking. You say you can lock a record or determine its lock status without a DB connection. How does that work? How do you perform a query without performing a query? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
