Svein,

Thanks for your help. It was very appreciated... Your solution is very
interesting...
But i think there is a more "ibo oriented" solution, so somebody could say
something about it ? Helen ? Geoff ? Jason ?
The original message follows bellow.

Thanks again,

Helton

applyupdates and then commit; in the other hand, if he hits the Cancel
button i call >cancelupdates and all the records are discarded.
