Ruslan,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=937581516-07072005>our problems are not

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=937581516-07072005>I just made a typing
mistake that would ask for or write to a field with a name that does not exist
in the table. I'm guilty, I know. But the next time I launched the program it
instantly crashed because the DataBase (or at least one of its tables) was
corrupted beyond repair. I had to re-load the backup copy.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

just sits there and lets you wait while VS is endlessly busy taking up CPU
time.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=937581516-07072005>This is what I call
absence of fault tolerance - I'm just afraid of encountering more such surprises
as we go along.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
