>Actual error message is "Record is in use by another user". So my question is what does that mean exactly. Has Tableupdate() encountered a record that has been modified by another user on the network? or that record is just locked by another user?
Record changed by another user doesn't seem applicable with the "force" clause. Also, in this case, TableUpdate() would not give an actual error message - it would simply return .F.
Record locked by another user is a possibility, but I suspect that the error message can have other causes, too.
