This article was previously published under Q89674



SUMMARY
To successfully run code developed for the multi-user FoxBASE+ environment on a machine running single-user FoxBASE+, one of the following is required:


 * Issue the SET EXCLUSIVE ON command (recommended) -or-


 * Load the MS-DOS SHARE utility if the machine runs a version of MS-DOS prior to version 4.00

If you take neither of these steps, FoxBASE+ hangs when the application issues a USE INDEX command.



MORE INFORMATION
Using the SET EXCLUSIVE ON command eliminates the need to call the SHARE utility to check file status and to write each database change to disk as it is made. Consequently, SET EXCLUSIVE ON improves database performance.
