Hi,
1. Are you using buffering to you table? CURSORSETPROP("Buffering", 5), SET MULTILOCK ON to enable buffering.
2. try to USE mytable AGAIN SHARED IN 0 to open table
3. As I know, if you are using VFP native data, taht is not client server basis, it is file sharing since your client application will access the table directly. If you want to design as C/S, you may need to write your own DCOM/COM to access the data indirectly, or upsizing to SQL server/MSCE
4. You may have a look at
Extending the application -> Programming for shared access (VFP DB)
Creating Client server applicatiion (SQL or other c/s server)
