Put the command SET STEP ON before "select accounts". When the command window comes up see if you can select the table manually.

>I have a form with datasession set to "Default Datasession". This form is called from my main program where my databases are opened. But when I reference my database (SELECT ACCOUNTS) which I opened in my main program I get "alias accounts is not found". If I ignore this error I get the error "File is in use" to the command USE ACCOUNTS EXCLUSIVE.
