SYMPTOMS
When a label form is shared and one workstation attempts to modify the form while another has run the label in preview mode, the converter is erroneously called.



WORKAROUND
The error condition is harmless, but you should cancel the Converter dialog box, and postpone the attempt to modify the label until after the other workstation has completed previewing the label.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

When the label is modified from the second workstation in Visual FoxPro 5.0, a "File access is denied" message appears.



MORE INFORMATION
While a label form can be both modified and printed simultaneously, attempting to run the label in preview mode synchronously results in the error "File access is denied." Unlike the Label Designer, the Report Designer correctly returns this error when you attempt to modify a report that is already being previewed by another. In all cases, previewing must be completed before a label or report can be shared again in any other operation.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
  On one workstation, create a label, and issue this command: LABEL FORM PREVIEW   On the second workstation, connect to the same directory in which the label was created, and attempt to modify it: MODIFY LABEL  Choose Cancel when the Converter dialog box appears.
