Good afternoon Mark;

I went to SQL Server years ago with VFP as a front end. Hope you find the problem.

Off for a Guninness and a bit of Irish Music (supplied by me!) :)

>I have a customer where recently, last 2 weeks, one of the tables will become read only. Only a reboot of the server sorts this out. This has happened 3 times in the last 2 weeks to different files each time. There is nothing in the program that changes the file attributes. I can use, browse but not change or append a record. In the server administration the files show as read instead of read/write but noeone is flagged as using them in any special way. Even getting everyone to log out so no one is using the file resets the read only flag.
