In short I agree, db->-dat and dat->-db for updates is the way to go for speed reasons.

Although I thought I had coded this kind of function in originally it turned out I had a minor error in code that made it in compatible with my existing form system, so I had to re-do it, however it looks a lot neater now though
I've recorded an example and uploaded to the acme site to show you and others how editing multiple items just takes seconds.
First video I show editing the names of all the selected items to match, please note my list box does not update on a timer or in realtime according to data changes, purely by methods calling it, or by focus change between forms.
Second video I show editing the Gold/EP Cost and Description of all the selected items to match.
Final note, I do not show my ref/unique/elite/super gears as they are automatically generated. So not am I only editing 5 items in the second video I'm actually editing 25 items all with different Gold costs.
