>Hello all,

>I have a form that creates a private data session and opens a couple of views, in the data environment of the form I only include the views...when the forms runs it triggers another form with a private data session and a couple of views....the second form seems to get a file in use error since one of its views uses the same underlying table as the first screen.....Each view opens its underlying tables in the data session and appears to do that in exclusive mode....I have set exclusive off however when the view runs the tables that it opens do not seem to heed this.....where am i going wrong.....thanks

Where did you set exclusive off? Since you're using private datasessions, you must have it set off in your BeforeOpenTables method of your dataenvironment on each form. Exclusive must be off BEFORE the tables are actually opened.
