Hmmm... just read over my answer below, and I don't think that will work. This probably will only tell how many times the same user has opened the table. Come to think of it, you'd pretty much have to do this on a server. Then you can either query the server itself, or, if a vfp backend, use a server function.

But what I'd really like is a way to delete my bad answers before anybody sees them. ;)
