Hi Fong,
Yes, but GridView is only reading the data it is looking at and so does not lock any databases. People entering orders or invoices may update many files by hitting the Post button. Also, a Data Integrity Check itself may need to update files. Having people in the database while the checking is going on is to risky.
Also, the fact that we "know" that no one is in the database allows us to take shortcuts to speed the process since no one else can be doing anything unexpected.
You should be coming to the
Adagio Opportunity Conference to learn about Data Integrity Checks, managing upgrades, the new version of Adagio PurchaseOrders and generally to lobby everyone at Softrak for the changes that would be most useful to you!
(You'd also get to meet Steve too!)
