In my application I make use of the informtion stored in the foxuser.dbf, and therefore have the command line:

use (sys(2005)) again shared alias (tcCursor)

everything works OK until the user runs two sessions of the application because then I get the error message 'file in use'. How can I open the foxuser.dbf in two intances of the app or detect that the file is already in use?

I tried the following to no avail as for some reason it still generates an error?

tcError = ON("ERROR")
ON ERROR glError = .T.

*-- Use the resouce file again
USE (SYS(2005)) AGAIN SHARED ALIAS (lcCursor)

*-- Restore the error handling routine
ON ERROR &tcError
