Then, an order can only be guaranteed if you, in your scripts, send a message, wait for result, and send the next message. In all other cases, unfortunately, no guarantee, as an xrpc server immediately start handling a request when it's received.

I thought so already. This is why I don't like to have to send multiple requests to do one thing (transaction). I'd rather be able to send one request to both do, say, an update and return a result, or add a document and return a result. The system so far doesn't allow me to do this, because I cannot define one query (or function in a module) that does both because of typing restrictions, and I also cannot send two separate queries in one request because of restrictions in the XRPC protocol. Any thoughts about achieving what I want? Maurice. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr.Ir.
