Nerissa,

From help on FLOCK():
"When a table is locked, the table is available for both read and write access by the user who placed the lock. Other users on the network have read-only access to the table."

>I am wondering if it is possible in MM to access a table that has been opened by another program exclusively. I am thinking that maybe there is a way to open this table with a read-only status.

>Thanks a lot for any help.
