Hello,

I can't understand why the following code does not work:

if used('selhdr.dbf')
else
use selhdr in 0 exclu
endif

I know that the table is being used in a workarea, yet it falls right through the first statement and tries to open the file again - thus causing an error. I've tried

IF !used("selhdr.dbf")

and that doesn't work either. Is there something in the environment that I'm failing to see, or something about the way this command works that I'm not aware of?

Any help would be appreciated.

Barry
