Hi,

I had three vfp5.0 application running currently on the same system, sharing some same file.

One of the program when running individual, is able to test a dbf file for exclusive use, it ok, then delete it. It run ok when standalone.

However, when I start the another program,the above 1 program also run without any problem. follow by another program which I run. Also without any problem

But when I exit all the three program and the run all at the same time, the program keep stating that the dbf is open by other program, and cannot delete the dbf file.

I had check it is the same own program that are opening the file using a external utilties to show me which application is opening and closing which file.

So I am at a lost of what to do as the problem is inconsistent. I had add in debug code to ensure that the same own program properly close the dbf file. Any help or suggestion is very much appreciated.
