vfp5.0 convert to 6.0 tables become readonly

[WILLAI]

Hi guys, I am beginner for VFP, and I need to convert a whole vfp5.0 program to vfp6.0. Currently run in an individual PC now going to replace it to a file server running on multi-users platform by an Executable file.
But while the program running in the file server, some tables become read only (i.e. unable to edit). I had change the main.prg code to "SET EXCLUSIVE to OFF" and "USE MOVEMENT SHARE". But the result is same - Read only. Could anyone give me advise how to fix this ?
Thanks

Hi

Make sure that the tables referred under data section in your project are marked.. EXCLUDED.
To do this.. select the data tab in yur project.. reach the tables one by one.. right click mouse on them.. and select Exclude.
Then recompile and run the application.

Hope this helps ramani :-9

Ramani, thanks for your advise ! These tables must included, because the program is using them. The problem is the table become read only after complied by vfp6.0. Do you think I need to import the table from vfp6.0 ?

I think you missed what Ramani suggested. You make the tables part of your project (include them in the project manager) but you need to exclude them from the executable, otherwise they get compiled in the exe and become read-only. Just right-mouse on the tables and select excluded.
