Hi Di,
The Used() function determines if a paticular alias is in use. In your example, you are opening the table with an alias, and should therefore be checking for that alias instead of the table name.
If !USED('ColorSet')
use ("&lcColorDBF") in 0 alias ColorSet
ENDIF

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.
