ApplyUpdates problem on 2nd time.

[cold25]

Problem is after editing a .dbf table, saving it once, editing it again & then trying to save it a 2nd time, it creates this exception:

"Project Project1.exe raised exception class EDBEngineError with message 'Couldn't perform the edit because another user changed the record.'

All I have done prior to the actions mentioned above is launch the program and open the table. I'm thinking perhaps I need to "free" something immediately after ApplyUpdates is executed, but I don't know what it would be. Might this be the problem or is it something else? Any suggestions?

I don't use the ApplyUpdates method. I tend to go for
Tblobj.edit; //sometimes Tblobj.append
<do some stuff>
Tblobj.fieldbyname('example').asString := .....
Tblobj.post;

As long as you don't set the Table to be caching, you shouldn't have too much in the way of problems. Of course I don't use the BDE, but do use Advantage db server.
