*report that is another matter. I don't think there is a way... but may I ask
what the need is? Why would "writing" the open lookups be
detrimental? If you do a generic WRITE to update the current file and have
not changed anything in the open lookups, those files will not be changed...
unless you care that the timestamp of the key file will be modified. (and
possibly, not sure, used index for that record.)</FONT></STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This process runs in the 'gblrate' table. I
tried 'WRITE -' and 'WRITE gblrate' but fP didn't like either. I
checked fP help, the fPmanual and Stuart's book.</FONT></DIV>
