Hi Paul.

>I check the AERRORINFO, the 2nd element in the array says "C:\VFPFILES\VFPAPPS\SC\DATA\SCPORDER.DBF cannot be opened exclusively."

That pretty much says what the problem is. Something has that table open: another user on a LAN or some other process on your system. For example, if you have a form that has that table open, then bring the Repair dialog up, it won't be able to repair that table because it's already open in the other form.

>One other thing I noticed. I use VMP 4.0 which opens all the tables on app startup, so I closed the table I was going to run the repair on prior to running the repair utility. I still got the error...and then I checked to see if the table was open and it was.

It might be open in a different datasession than you're looking at.
