Okay, let's define "procedure". What does this do?

The specification you have below has all the record locking set to the VFP defaults. These are not good in a multi-user environment because the defaults tell VFP to wait indefinitely to get a lock. It is much better to limit this to some set number (or number of seconds - VFP attempts record locking on failures approximately 6X/second) and include error handling if you don't get the lock. This could be slowing your system down.
