That helps, but it doesn't really matter much for networking.

Either the Load() Event or the DataEnvironment is the correct place to open tables.

This will cause great problems for networking. Use permanent indexes (with TAG instead of TO), and don't index every time you open the form.

It is safest to open tables IN 0.

Also, every form should have its private dataenvironment.

Also, you need to do a SET EXCLUSIVE OFF, to be able to network.

To test if your program works over the network, you can simply open two copies of the program on the same machine, and see if you get any problems. Most problems related to the network are related two two users trying to use the same resource (table, index, etc.)
