As noted in other posts, Visual FoxPro will write a codepage to the DBF and clipper will not like it, so turn that setting off. You will want to use the DBFCDX RDD available in Clipper 5.3. It IS the COMIX RDD for FoxPro tables. And the exospace linker works just as well as Blinker. As to record locking, if you are using the TBROWSE or edit browse (I forget the command, is it DBEDIT?) in your clipper applications you may need to customize errorsys.prg to retry the lock.
