>I would like to use rlock to determine if a record is locked. I have two instances of VFP (SP3) running. In the first instance I open a table, shared, with no buffering and set reprocess to 0. Then I issue rlock() on a specific record. Then in the second instance of VFP, I do all the same setup. When I issue rlock() on that same record I expect it to return false. Instead it hangs.

SET REPROCESS controls how long VFP waits for a lock.

ISRLOCKED, despite the mileading docs, only tells you if the current session has the record locked.
