This STILL misses the race hazard that exists with CURRENT data! First it assumes that everybody s using the one published set of data. That has been thrown out, so several sets will exist. Once one looks at a new event diary one also has to establish just which publisher it is using! One then gets the 'current' data for that publisher, but if the diary was published today, and there has since been a change of data, then what was used by the diary is out of sync. OK one way of making your system work is to INSIST that ever published dairy is always updated to the current data set for their publisher? Not going to work, it takes time to find that what was published now needs updating, and the material published may well already be cached around the network, so an update will take time to propagate. Historic material archived today will tag the publisher and the version, and as long as in 10 years time the matching data can be recovered there is not a problem. But the same simple process provides the necessary security to CURRENT material since 'latest' may well not be the version used five minutes ago ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
