Hi Moe

I don't want lock file or record, I just want that foxpro did my 2 lines of code without interupt by a other line of code(MULTI-TASK) to prevent error.
I will try with a exemple:

USER have to make a seek in table USER1 and after make a GATHER MEMVAR

BUT

TIMER1 have to make a seek in table USER1 to in same time

GOOD
---------------------------
COMPUTER DID
USER : SEEK IN TABLE USER1
USER : GATHER MEMVAR
TIMER1: SEEK IN TABLE USER1

BAD
----------------------------
COMPUTER DID
USER : SEEK IN TABLE USER1
TIMER1 : SEEK IN TABLE USER1
USER : GATHER MEMVAR

May be I can resolve the problem if i used the same table open with 2 different alias But I don't know if with 4 or 5 different alias of the same table the performance will be affected ?
