>What do you mean "not reported properly"? There is no way to know how a table (or a db) was opened by another user?

Well, I wasn't the one who said that, but yeah, I think thats what he meant. IsExclusive(), IsFLocked() and IsRLocked() can only tell you if the current VFP session has teh table locked.

The only way to find out if anyone else has it is to try it and trap the error.
