ACC1x: Error While Importing FoxPro Table Structure

Last reviewed: May 28, 1997
Article ID: Q109357

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you are importing an empty FoxPro version 2.0 table into Microsoft Access, you receive the following error message:

   Table '<tablename#DBF>' is exclusively locked

CAUSE

The FoxPro indexed sequential access method (ISAM) opens empty tables in exclusive mode, and opens non-empty tables as read-only. Microsoft Access opens the table, placing it in exclusive mode, and then attempts the import. The import cannot be carried out, however, because the table has already been opened exclusively.

STATUS

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Access version 1.1.
