SET EXCLUSIVE Command
Specifies whether table files are opened for exclusive or shared use on a network.
Syntax
SET EXCLUSIVE ON | OFF
Arguments
ON
Limits accessibility of a table opened on a network to the user who opened it. The table isn't accessible to other users on the network. SET EXCLUSIVE ON also prevents all other users from having read-only access.
OFF
(Default for the driver; the defaults for Visual FoxPro are ON for the global data session and OFF for a private data session.) Allows a table opened on a network to be shared and modified by any user on the network.
Remarks
Changing the setting of SET EXCLUSIVE doesn't change the status of previously opened tables. For example, if a table is opened with SET EXCLUSIVE set to ON and SET EXCLUSIVE is later changed to OFF, the table retains its exclusive-use status.
