I try using SHARED when I open tables unless I absolutely have to ZAP or INDEX. But my predecessor set things up really badly, not kowing VFP very well, nor ever trying to study it.

If someone is in a table already, the next person getting in will see a file access is denied error and will start calling around to see who has "the FoxPro" open; this is how they say it. When I have been able to write things from scratch, I've gotten rid of all the kludges (crap) and things run smoothly, but where I make slight mods to the exisiting code, the existing code is crap, so it doesn't much improve things to only make mods. Some of this junk needs to be re-written.


Lovely! Welcome to the world. <lol> Good luck out there!
