Hi,

>Fabio is thinking, that different setting of TABLEVALIDATE affect this behavior. That's I asked my colleague to test and he told me that there is no difference. However, I think he put this setting in his code and didn't try in the separate VFP session to apply this setting. So, I'm asking him to re-test.

I think Fabio's absolutely right on this (as usual) - setting TABLEVALIDATE to 0 in my form got rid of the 'File is in use by another'.

Regards,
Viv
