Top-Posting really screws up the thread...

But anyway, using VSS does not assure a stable database state. You
would at least need to 'sync' (or stop) the database to ensure such a
state. Now in practice, the database may be robust and you may just
lose the last entry but taking a VSS is not a recommended method.
