I have an application (VFP6 front-end with SQL backend using remote views and SQLPT) and users are getting the error message "Database object is being used by somone else" (error 1709).

As suggested by previous answers to this problem, each workstation is using a local copy of the .dbc containing remote view definitions. This has considerably reduced occurrance of the error, but it is still happening.

In my baseform error handler, I have trapped error 1709, introduced a small delay (0.3 sec), then perform a RETRY. If the .dbc is still locked, the error-handler should be called again, and so on, but no error message should be displayed. (Question - if the form calls a .prg (or a procedure/function in a .prg) in which an error occurs, does the form.error() event kick-in, or the error-handler associated with the .prg file?)

Are there any other reasons why this error could still be occurring?

Any help would be appreciated.
