Go to the server and see who has the table open - it is locked by some user somewhere.
Has anything changed on the setup of the server? Could be a virus scanner as well.



>I have a working database that has been operational -flawlessly - for about 10 years in a 24/7 operation until last night.

>One of the tables in the database is now erroring with the following message (which I didn't program into the table.) "Record not available ... please wait" The message appears in a wait window and locks the program. This happens on all machines. Each machine has their own .exe.

>I tried to go in through the 'backdoor' into the raw table through VFP and got the same message and it locked VFP.

>I'm using VFP 8 with the tables located on a server.

>All other tables in the project are ok.
