SYMPTOMS
In FoxPro 2.6a for Macintosh, the RLOCKfunction fails after locking 220 records due to a limitation of Macintosh file sharing.

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
1. Confirm that file sharing is enabled by clicking the Apple menu,

choosing Control Panels, and then selecting Sharing Setup. 2. Create and run the following program: SET STATUS ON  USE SYS(2004)+"Tutorial:Customer.dbf" SHARED SET MULTILOCKS ON  DO WHILE !EOF AND RLOCK SKIP ENDDO 3. After record 220 is locked, the message "Attempting to lock... Press ESC  to Cancel" appears briefly in a Wait Window, and then the program terminates. The status bar displays Record: 221/500 Record Unlocked Additional reference words: 2.60a FoxMac KBCategory: kbprg kbprb KBSubcategory: FxotherGeneral Keywords         : FxotherGeneral Version          : 2.60a Platform         : MACINTOSH
