To know for sure what record #4 is referring to, you can use your form as a table (USE MyForm.SCX), BROWSE it and see what is in various fields of record #4. However, from your description, more than likely the error refers to a table being in exclusive use. When the second user tries to run the form, they would get a "file access is denied" error. It would show up in the DO FORM command because the error occurs while the data environment is trying to open the table for you (and therefore, the last line of VFP code executed was the DO FORM).

You might try creating a CONFIG.FPW file to distribute with your EXE and add the following line to it:

EXCLUSIVE = OFF

Or, you could add SET EXCLUSIVE OFF as one of the first few lines of your main program (assuming that you have one).
