>We have a FoxPro 2.5 app. Who ever set it up didn't use a dbc to hold the tables. The app can only be used by one person at a time. I have been told that this app is being replaced by something else. In the mean time I have been given the task to access the table data through Excel spreadsheets. I am using ADO however if someone has the table open the data cannot be accessed. Is there some way to access the table as read-only. I am used to programming in VFP 6.0 where I set the Exclusive to Off for multiple users.
Steven;
From your description is sounds like the application has Exclusive set to On. Can you get to the code?
By the way dbc's were not available until VFP 3.0.
