Dear Jim

Thanks for the answer. But again a question came in my mind, if a file is always opened exclusively and if I include AGAIN in USE command then how it is possible to maintain the EXCLUSIVE mode.

In MSDN help also I found that they say the file will open again with properties as the 1st file open ie. more than one user can open the file in EXCLUSIVE mode simultaneously.

Please explain how it is possible.

Thank you
Yours truly
