An oft overlooked feature of this solution is that one can load thesubfile without locking records, and then when processing updates onecan retrieve the record to be changed, compare the current data with theoriginal data and determine if a change was made at another workstation.Thus one can eliminate the last-user-wins problem.

Any more I just process the whole subfile by putting a chain rrn inside a for...next loop. I always know how many records I have in there, so it is quick and easy to do. To determine if a record is changed, I put hidden fields in for each input field, and compare the two. I populate those hidden fields whenever I load a subfile record, and when I save it.
