>>Switching from VFP6 to VFP9 and having a problem with the resource table that is opened exclusive. Each client has their own resource file. Open it exclusive to limit their ability to log on from multiple desktops. Once I leave the application and return to the project manager the table is not open (per the Data Session window), but the lock is not released and I can not open the table or run my application again - without exiting the VFP9. I read the resource files in VFP9 where now opened sharable, but how is that >>keeping my lock?

Well ... I tested in both VFP9 and VFP6. Excuted my application from the project manager and then returned to the project manager. This is what happens from the Command Window. BTW - bg.dbf is my resource file that I open exclusively in my applicaiton.

The following both work in VFP6 and neither work in VFP9 - "File is in use".
USE c:\rt50v538_old\resource\bg.dbf IN 0 SHARED
USE c:\rt50v538_old\resource\bg.dbf IN 0 EXCLUSIVE

Either of the above will work in VFP9 if AGAIN is added.

VFP9 will NOT let me delete the bg.dbf file using Windows Exporer -"It is being used by another person or program"

VFP6 will let me delete the bg.dbf file.
