The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6 - Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6

SUMMARY

The default value for SET EXCLUSIVE is OFF in dBASE IV version 1.5. The default value for SET EXCLUSIVE is ON in dBASE IV version 2.0 and in FoxPro version 2.6.

MORE INFORMATION

Since FoxPro 2.6 is compatible with dBASE IV 2.0 only, this is the correct behavior. This difference will only affect developers who are moving to FoxPro 2.6 from dBASE 1.5. If SET EXCLUSIVE is not explicitly set to OFF, a "File access denied" error message may result.

Include the SET EXCLUSIVE OFF command at the beginning of your application, or add the following line to your CONFIG.FP file:

   EXCLUSIVE=OFF
