>The problem is when I open a foxplus table in VFP and place an rlock() on it, I can then still open up the file in unix and place an rlock() on the same record. So my assumption is recording locking between the systems will be a big problem. Short of adding a logical locked field in every table (which, come to think of it, might be a solution?), does anyone know of a way to get VFP and FP Unix tables (talking through Samba) to reconginze each other's record locks or have any other suggestions to accomplish this?

I seem to remember that some versions of Samba used pseudo-locks (oplocks I think they were called) - you might need to update your Samba installation. VFP probably uses INT21h for locking across NETBios and unless the Samba installation fully supports that you could well have these problems. Check your network protocols are all installed correctly.
