SYMPTOMS
After importing or exporting a file in Visual FoxPro using the interface, any tables that are opened through the Data Session window afterward will be opened as shared because the Exclusive check box has been reset and cleared. This happens even though Exclusive is still set to On as the default setting in the FoxPro environment. If the files are imported or exported programmatically, the exclusive status is not changed in the Data Session.



RESOLUTION
After the Open button of the Data Session is selected, select the Exclusive check box to open the files exclusively.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Issue a SET EXCLUSIVE ON in the Command window to ensure exclusive status in the FoxPro environment.
 * 2) From the Window menu, choose Data Session to open the Data Session window.
 * 3) Click the Open button and make sure that the Exclusive check box is selected.
 * 4) From the Visual FoxPro File menu, choose Export. In the Export dialog box, type myfile in the "To:" text box.
 * 5) Select the ellipsis box located to the right of the "From:" text box and choose any FoxPro table.
 * 6) Select the OK button. The table exports and you are returned to the Data Session window.
 * 7) Select the Open button on the Data Session window and observe that the Exclusive check box is cleared.
