>I got the latest version and made it writable opened it up and had the other developer to open his file and everthing works fine. But, when I close my project through Fox and try to reopen it I get the access denied?

Are you both trying to use the same copy of the project? You should each have your own copy of the project on your local machine. Otherwise you will get problems. VFP was not intended to let two users open the same copy of a project file at the same time.
