It could be done without exclusive rights but...
Scenario is couple POS (on network) with about 200-300K item sales records per month on each POS. If I use DELETE instead of ZAP after each sale, calculate size of local table after one year. This is one quick reason.

>>I have a local table which is open exclusive. INSERT, DELETE, ZAP is used on that table.
>>Any ideas how to display those data on second monitor on a fly with all changes applied? I prefer another program which is displaying on a second monitor (extend monitor).
>>
>>Thanks.

>May I ask WHY you have chosen to use a table exclusive? Zapping on a regular basis sounds like a bad choice, why don't you use a cursor instead? In "my book", zap is a command that should only be used maximum once or twice per year, in a specially designed table maintenance module. If ever..., I haven't used zap since the last millennium, actually I can't remember ever having used it. It's on my "commands to avoid" list, which also includes Insert. Unless by Insert you mean the SQL version, Insert in VFP comes in two completely different flavors.
