- A side note: store the reccount() to an additional variable
- and perhaps some other data that could serve to uniquely identify
- that particular record if you are working in an area with multiple
- user access. This allows you to catch it if somebody else adds or
- deletes a record and compensate accordingly without having to lock
- the entire file.
