>Rick provided a good detailed answer to your question. When you think about all of the public variables and environment settings in VFP, it's not a good candidate for free-threading. VFP MTDLLs are "thread-safe" in the sense that each thread/apartment hosts a completely separate instance of the VFP environment. You don't have to worry about one apartment corrupting another.

For example, if you have code that creates a table after checking if the file already exists. You would want to wrap that code in a critical section, so one thread could finish creating the table before another thread checks for its existence. Conceptually, critical section concurrency isn't all that different than table/record locks, but you're locking code instead of data.

Hi Joel! Nice to read you :)

Yeah, I've read all the answers, the link that Craig provided (a good article) a the exceptional and detailed answer from Rick, more various articles.

Thanks for your answer too, it's very clear.
