VFP, Not a table/DBF file

Not a table/DBF file

Author	Message
Dominique Mart #1 / 4	Not a table/DBF file All postings concerning this problem referred to power failures. I get this problem and I do not have power failures. Can there be other reasons? I am not in a network environment. But I have noticed that this problem seems to occur when someone do an ALT-TAB in windows and restart a second copy of the application. If this is the cause, why is this computer allowing more than one copy of this application and an other computer returns a message File access denied if you try to run a secon copy of the same application?

I found that with some NETs (Lantastic), this is required. Karl S.
