PRB: Cannot Modify Table/Database StructureID: Q111252 The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are attempting to modify the structure of a table/.DBF, a window is displayed in the upper-right corner with the message "Database not opened exclusively." CAUSE
RESOLUTIONVerify That the Table Is Opened Exclusively Open the table/.DBF again using the EXCLUSIVE clause of the USE command. For example, to open a table/.DBF called CUSTOMER in the current directory, type the following: USE customer.dbf EXCLUSIVE Check If the Table Has Read-Only AttributesTo check if the MS-DOS Read-Only attribute has been set, use the MS-DOS ATTRIB command or the Windows File Manager. To check if a network drive has read-only access rights, use the software provided with your network. STATUSThis behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATIONTo modify the structure of a table/.DBF, either open the database with the USE command and then choose Setup from the Database menu, or type "MODIFY STRUCTURE" (without the quotation marks) in the Command window.
