I am now realizing that my current code will not work on a Network with multiple users.

i.e. Suppose I need exclusive access to a .dbf file that could be shared by other users.

I would normally write:

if used("MyFile")
select MyFile
use
endif

use MyFile excl

I now realize that used("MyFile")
returns .t. if I am using it
but returns .f. if somewone else is using it on the same Server.

Is there some way of taking over a file exclusively that someone else is already using non exclusively over a Network?
