Hi all,

Why is it that when i chek for the usage of a file,the control goes into the !USED() function and then says , the file is in use. I am using the following ...

IF !USED("&lcColorDBF")
use ("&lcColorDBF") in 0 alias ColorSet
ENDIF

The flow of control goes into line 2 which is "USE ("&lc..." but then it throws an error mesg saying File is in use. How am I to overcome this error ? I am using that file before, but then it shouldnt enter into the IF Clause. I just placed the IF for a routine check, this happens to be in a TIMER event. So I need this to be checked every time.

Thanks in advance
