If the table you specify is not open, Visual FoxPro opens it in a new work area, and the new record is appended to the table. The new work area is not selected; the current work area remains selected.

>If the table you specify is open, INSERT appends the new record to the table. If the table is open in a work area other than the current work area, it is not selected after the record is appended; the current work area remains selected.

>In other words, no mentioning of exclusive anymore.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
