Presumably the grid is read only? In which case you do not
need to worry about the transaction. It only becomes a
problem when you have edits. Just use Refresh for the read.
Post the data with a procedure, and use Server Autocomit and
everthing should run very fast.

I don't get up to a sustained rate like yours. but my burst
rate is somewhat faster and does not have a problem. 24/7 on
one site since January.

A new project just coming to completion has a one second
refresh of the supervisor grid, which is read only, and all
is fine.
