Check if a table is open

[corgette]

I am trying to find a way to see if a table is open by another user.

I open the table, select a record and lock it.

Then in another window on the same computer, I open the table again as follows:

USE Table09 alias table EXCLUSIVE

FLOCK() returns .T. even though the table is open and a record locked in another window.

I can get into the table and open and lock a record. But if I try to use the same record being used in the other window, i cannot lock it.

1. Why can I open it EXCLUSIVELY ?
2. Why does FLOCK() return .T ?
3. Is using two windows the same as using 2 workstaions on a network ?

Sorry.

Please ignore this thread. It was the same table in 2 different folders.

1 for VFP, 0 for me.
