>I have huge volume of CD-ROM resided data (VFP database+tables) and try to use it in network environment and I found that I can open the same table EXCLUSIVELY from different workstations. I have never worked with CD-ROM much and for me it looks unbelieveable. Any ideas???

Hmmm...when I open a table off a CD, it comes up READ-ONLY, and pays no attention to EXCLUSIVE. What happens when you try to edit a table?
