It sounds like there's a problem accessing your application's objects, rather than your data files. I have found this can happen if I'm working on an application with SET EXCLUSIVE ON, even if the built application is set to SET EXCLUSIVE OFF.

If this is your problem, open VFP and navigate to Tools/Options and select the DATA tab. Un-Check "Open Exclusive" and then click the "Set As Default" button. If you have the PROJECT open, you need to close and re-open the project because VFP would have opened it in the EXCLUSIVE mode whan you launched it.

After you do this, you will always be opening your project and data files as SHARED.
