If they all share the same FOXUSER.DBF, mark it and the associated .FPT as ReadOnly - they file is opened exclusively by the first user otherwise. You can also use CONFIG.FPW to turn off the use of the FOXUSER file at all if you don't rely on it by adding a line that reads:

RESOURCE=OFF

to the CONFIG.FPW file.
