Doru,

Thanks again. but...

What if the file is locked() by another user on another machine... or locked in another form running with a private datasession... Then it appears that IsFLocked() does not work.

I am really looking for a global IsFlocked() function. So far the only option I have is to attempt to Flock() the table. But I would prefer not to actually lock the table to determine the lock status. I may not have another choice.

Thanks for all your help.
