Hi All,

I'm writing a utility that packs all the tables in a
DBC. Part of the code involves checking if I'm able
to have 'exclusive' use of the DBC by traping the
error code and checking for error #1705 - File access
denied.

The problem is that when I was testing it using two
PCs on a network, it worked fine. But when I tested
it from the application (.exe) it was not even getting
the error I was expecting.

Part of the code I'm using is:

on error aerror(laError)

open database TESTDATA.DBC exclusive
if laError[1] = 1705
wait window "Exclusive use of Database is required!"
return
endof

Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA
