Hi Pete,

Your SET EXCLUSIVE default may be ON. In the DE's .BeforeOpenTables try adding SET EXCL OFF. You will have to do this for every private data session because SET EXCL is scoped to the current data session.

>Hello Sylvain,
>the reason I posted this is, if I run my app using data on my hard disk everything is fine, as soon as I connect to the network I get the message "File Access Denied", I traced it to the OpenTables method of the DE, and by changing exclusive to .f. in code the problem goes away, this problem has only started since I installed SP3, if you've any ideas please let me know
