Title:
SELECT / USE command
One of the most common things I find myself doing is checking if a table is open before I use it. If it is open I just want to select it not open it.
ie I want to open table 'Customers' but since it may already be open I have to use some function or other to check if it is already open first.
Sometimes I will just use the USED() command to check first.
Othertimes I might use my USETABLE() function to open it.
By now I was hoping that there would be some sort of built in function to do this, maybe its in there already somewhere and I have just missed it.
I am not sure what form of syntax this should take..I guess most of us are familiar with USETABLE() but I notice OPEN() is also going free.
An additional parameter on the USE command could also be considerd (might start getting over burdened here though).
Is it now too late to get suggestions into VFP7
