According to the help: "If the table you specify isn't open, it is opened
exclusively in a new work area..." The emphasis is mine.
I hadn't noticed this before (I use APPEND BLANK + buffering most of the time); but now I ask: wouldn't this be problematic for multiuser applications?
Is this behavior still so in later versions of VFP?
Must the programmer always include something like the following?
if not used("MyTable")
use MyTable again in 0
endif
insert into MyTable...
