Our VFP9 SP2 application is installed on many hundreds of sites, almost all multi-user. We have TABLEVALIDATE set to 4, i.e.
"When opening a table, the USE command attempts to lock the table header only once. If the header is locked, Visual FoxPro performs a strict header check, similar to SET TABLEVALIDATE set to 1. Otherwise, Visual FoxPro suppresses the "File is in use" error and performs a header check in the manner of versions prior to Visual FoxPro 8.0." So that's a sort of best-of-both-worlds scenario. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
