I opened up a Cross-Ref Table and changed the
ownership of several provinces. I closed out all sub-
dialogues and re-opened the province records dialogue.
The changes I made are not recorded there.
I believe the flush all button flushes all changes to the data.
If this is indeed the case then the button needs to be made
clearer from a UI perspective.

This is a UI problem on my part and a lack of documentation
problem. I wrote this don somewhere but haven't a clue where
at the moment ( in a text file in the code directory probably ).
My oops, I put tables in and meant to come back, finish them
off and document them. Then got very busy with some other
things and never did. You'll notice a few other omissions
(spl?) too like no way to see things like province terrain in a
table ( i.e. no support for multi-values fields ).
Quick instructions on tables then (from the top of my head at
the moment):
The right-most column is a command column. When you
make changes to the row the contents will change from a - to
a ! meaning you have unapplied changes.
Much like in the normal views you need to apply any changes
you make, they will not immediately affect the database. This
is to help avoid making inadvertent changes.
Simple method:
Press the 'Flush All' button to flush all changes to the internal
database before you close the screen.
You should see the ! change back to - on the modified rows,
indicating that the row is no longer different to the database.
If you don't flush changes they will be lost when the screen is
closed.
You can flush the changes for a single row if you wish, rather
than all rows. To do so go to the last column, to the row you
want to flush and type a single f into the cell ( overtyping
the ! ) then move to another cell.
You should see the ! change to a - in the same way as it
does when you do a flush all.
A warning when closing the screen if there are unflushed
changes would probably be a good thing I think.
I hope that helps.
