Question

If I attempt to gain an exclusive table open in FoxPro, it generates a dialog box if access is denied. Since I’m targeting an non-interactive application, is there a way to detect whether the operation will succeed, or at least have it fail silently?

Answer 1

If you have VFP 8 or greater:

TRY     USE MyTable IN 0 EXCLUSIVE ENDTRY … IF USED (‘MyTable’)     *– Use the table here ENDIF
