SYMPTOMS
If you do not have both read and write privileges for the drive from which the .DBF file is being accessed and EXCLUSIVE is set to ON, FoxBASE+/Mac generates the error message

File is in use by another.



CAUSE
FoxBASE+/Mac requires both read and write privileges to view a database file because FoxBASE+/Mac changes a bit in the header of the file for network-handling purposes.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxBASE+/MAC version 2.01. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
