>My app tables are located on the network server giving many users access. I am trying to add a record to one of the tables and I get the message in the status bar 'Attempting to lock...' This is a new record. I am using Insert Into command. Please help.

Steven,
Insert Into and Append Blank need to lock the header of the table (record 0) in order to add a record. Do you have that "record" locked (e.g. explicitly issued rlock(0) somewhere) and it wasn't unlocked? Or if you have a file lock on the table then you'll probably get the same message.

HTH.
