>>>Hi Chris.

>>>Are you trying to use APPEND FROM to append data from the network tables? Hmmm...OK, two things. Is SET EXCLUSIVE OFF? It should be. Second, if you have no way of knowing if the network tables are in use by another process, the safest way to do your append may be to open the network table for shared access, copy it to a cursor, and APPEND FROM the cursor. As in:
>>>
>>>USE networktable IN 0 SHARED
>>>SELECT * FROM networktable INTO CURSOR foo
>>>USE IN networktable
>>>SELECT localtable
>>>APPEND FROM foo

>>The above probably won't work. APPEND FROM requires a file not an alias name. Further, if a filtered representation of the table is created (which it probably will be), there won't be a file other than the original, so the original problem may remain. So...

>>USE networktable IN 0 SHARED
>>SELECT * FROM networktable INTO CURSOR foo NOFILTER
>>lcfile = DBF('foo')
>>USE IN networktable
>>SELECT localtable
>>APPEND FROM (lcfile)

Hi George,

Forget it :) It was another select that's working.
