- If this is to be a multi-user application, and the table to be appended is
- _NOT_ a temporary scratch table, RTFM on the subject of Form Locking. You
- _cannot_ override a Paradox form lock. If the table you are adding _to_
- is to be accessed simultaneously with a form, you will not be able to
- append to the table by any means _but_ that form if anyone is coediting it.
- You must write a script to SCAN the input table and use COPYTOARRAY before
- moving to the destination table, _picking the desired form_, Coediting, and
- using a COPYFROMARRAY. Don't forget to deal with possible key violations,
- and have fun.
