Hello Everyone,
I have an old Clipper (Clipper 5.3) application using DBase databases. Recently I have converted NTX indexes into CDX indexes also in order to be able to use them from VFP. I see properly indexes and I can access data from both Clipper and VFP (without ODBC). And now I have a need to access the same database with record locking simultaniously from VFP and Clipper. I have already learnt that file and record locking mechanism are different so I cannot get proper record locking. Does anyone knows how to overcome this problem and get locking system properly working with both Clipper and VFP ?
