If the DB is open when you do the edits it will be promptly overwritten by the DB held in RAM as soon as you close it or commit it (the RAM copy). It does lead to an interesting timing dance if you are trying to update a DB that is live and being used :-)-Sven_____________________________________________________________________ Sven U.
