SET EXCLUSIVE ON does not work retroactively. IOW, if you have DBF1 already open in shared mode, issuing SET EXCLUSIVE ON does not affect it; you would have to close the file and reopen it.
An alternative to using SET EXCLUSIVE is to explicitly state it when you open the DBF, as in:
USE MYTABLE EXCLUSIVE
or
USE MYTABLE SHARE

Thank you Robert
It has taken me some time to find my way in this far.
I have now found my way in and thankfully received your advice which I will certainly try.
I had programmed around my problem and given up what I was trying to do.
I did not mention my purpose which was to reduce .IDX files by reindexing at start up so that back up times were reduced.
I think that this would have been OK except that we have two computers running off the same system hence the share problem.
Again - thank you from an old tryer in Australia
