>I have the same approach in forms that require exclusive use. But, what if the form that is openned by USER1 is the form (Form1) that requires exclusive use. And USER2 tries to open Form2 that does not require exclusive use and also has databound controls. I get the error loading file - Parent - record 21 - File Access is denied.

User2 will not be able to open form 2 and will receive the message and the Load() will RETURN .F.
