<DIV></DIV>Rick,<BR> <BR>We've had problems with this kind of thing
before as well. Sometimes it seems that Workflow is just too quick for
the database changes to actually take hold with the implicit
COMMIT WORK statement issued inside the standard code.<BR> <BR>In
the end we resorted to explicit COMMIT WORK AND WAIT statements inside
our Methods where we wanted to be absolutely sure the changes have
happened before we proceed any further. This seems to have done the trick
although it's a bit clunky and really not that elegant at all.
<BR> <BR>Occasionally we also ask the BOR Object to refresh
itself at the end of these Methods to keep the OBJECT-_*
structures up to date when we think something important may have
changed.<BR> <BR>Using a Virtual attribute rather than a Database
attribute would enforce a certain 'delay' in retrieving the database value
again because you have to execute a discrete SELECT. This might be
enough time for the V2 updates to happen in the back-end in the
meantime. But then again it might not be enough of a delay if the
system is under stress and lots of updates are happening at the same
time.<BR> <BR>I guess it all depends on how soon after a database
change are you trying to fetch the new
value?<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR> <BR>Mike GT<BR><BR>> Subject: RE:
