>Also, is it possible that the file is in exclusive use in another datasession? I know that normally that would cause a different error, but we're already long way from normal.

my error report code sends me list status and list memo too and seem language really used in this datasession and I don't use private datasession with this application. Because it's a POS application. Every time there is one screen, no windows, every file open as exclusive except this file... :)
