Either the record or the table is being exclusively locked for some reason. If you get the message when you are trying to INSERT INTO or APPEND BLANK, then it's the whole file that is locked.

You need to be sure you OPEN tablename SHARED for multiuser operation, or SET EXCLUSIVE OFF before opening any tables. If you are using 'data environments' in your forms, make sure the 'exclusive' property is set to False.

You may also want to review the documentation on the 'buffermode' property if the above doesn't immediately solve your problem - perhaps others will chime in with more info....
