Ok...now that Ive solved all my browse issues (thanks James!!!), Im ready to tackle re-using deleted records to avoid that pesky downtime for packing.

Ive read a few posts but not sure I completely understand....

Right now im just doing the standard oDbf:append()....load()....save()

Can I get some code examples on how to implement finding deleted record, blanking, using Database object?

Thanks!
Greg

Greg,

Already sent to your email.

Everyone, this is code for selected TData registered users only. The new code is beta-test code right now.

There are actually two new features, 1) automatic deleted record reuse (no more PACKing!) and 2) auto-incrementing primary-key fields. Almost no code changes will be required to implement these new features.

TData is an enhanced database class. For more information about TData go here:

Be sure to read the OOP articles too. They show how using database classes can really reduce your code and increase your programming power.

Greg and James:

Is my understanding that xHarbour CDX driver already recicles automatically the deleted records.

Well that would certainly be sweet if that is the case. Are you saying the oDbf:append() automatically seeks deleted records to reuse?

Also...what IS the difference in Harbour and xHarbour (im just using Harbour).

Thanks!

Don't think so. It would be a serious incompatibility.
