After read most of reply and your further explan, I can suppose what you have
already done.

- Use Direct Cursor on Table
- Set MultiLock On
- Set Exculsive Off
- CursorSetProp(...) either 2,3,4,5 most likely is 3 or 5!

Then, what maybe left I suppose?

Form.BufferMode = 2
Set it on Form Designer, if you find you fail to open table, check "DataSession" property!

If after check those 2 properties but got right value!

You need to check whether any "Replace" execute at once Before the user can do any Action, Because If 2 or more application modify the first Record information at once...

Only one of the application can update the cursor... ~_~

Besides, there is some observation that EVEN for the fail Update cursor TableRever(), it still can update in other records!! This means forever fail to update, you need to release the form object and Re-create the Cursor again!
This bug seem fixed in VFP 6.0

In my point, I suggest you to check the field value before any replace statement!

e.g.

if myTable.myField <> cNextFieldValue
Replace myTable.myField With cNextFieldValue
Endif

because the replace statement claim you are editing the record if need not update, don't lock if possible!

Anyway, just a suggestion!
