Hi!

Following are points where you should check too.

This error message appears when something try to open database/table in exclusive mode. In my applications I always include 'SHARED' for all 'OPEN DATABASE' and 'USE' commands. Why? Just because SET EXCLUSIVE setting have dsta session scoop. When someone or something set default settings on computer for VFP to use SET EXCLUSIVE ON, you're in troubles. That is also a reason why data sessions usage is not recommended. And that is why "SET EXCLUSIVE OFF" command should be used ALWAYS at the start of application and in LOAD method of each form with private data session.

So, are you sure tables/databases opened in shared mode?
