>>Mark,
>>It might be already opened shared. Then though including 'EXCLUSIVE' doesn't error but doesn't open exclusive.

>>ie:
>>set exclusive off
>>use customer && This causes testdata.dbc be opened
>>open data testdata.dbc exclusive && Already open - behaves as if it was
>>* set data to testdata.dbc

>>Do it like this :

>>open data testdata exclusive

>>PS: Close data all doesn't close in all sessions under all versions (ie: a form with a private session using one of the tables from that database and VFP7). I assume you have no forms up (or seesion objects).
