>We have just purchased VFP6 and are starting to experiment with mulit-user appliactions. We (my programming partner and I) each used a table located on my computer. Mulitlocks in ON, Exlusive is OFF, and Reprocess is set to 1. If I lock a record (manually with RLOCK()) and then issue ?ISRLOCK() from the command window, it returns a true. If my partner issues ?ISRLOCK() from his machine on the same record, the return value is false. On the surface, ISRLOCK() seemed to be a great way to tesst for a lock without actually locking, but only seems to work on the machine the ISRLOCK() is issued from. Any thoughts or comments?

Yup, you've got it right. The second computer can attempt to RLOCK() and if it can't RLOCK() will return .F.
