PRB: "File Is in Use" OpenDBF Error with FOXAPP.APPID: Q103279 The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you run FOXAPP.APP, the following error may occur: Line No. 911 Program: OpenDBF Error: File is in use. Source: Use The line number will vary, according to the version of FoxPro being used. CAUSEThis error occurs when the database name contains special characters that cause FoxPro to open the database under a different alias than the name of the database. The following characters will cause this error: ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) - ' For example, the command USE Y-XXX.DBF will create an alias of the name of the work area that Y-XXX.DBF was opened in, rather than the name of the database. Therefore, if Y-XXX.DBF was opened in work area 1, the alias name will be "1" instead of "Y-XXX". In FoxPro version 2.5 for MS-DOS and FoxPro version 2.5 for Windows only, a database name beginning with a numeral will also cause this error. RESOLUTIONTo work around this problem, remove the special characters from the name.
