I've noticed that I seem to be getting phantom table locks -- tables are locked (with an (L) in the LIST TABLES ouput) even when no one is in the table. I think these locks may be left around by forms.
Is anyone experiencing anything similar? Right now, I have a table locked in an R:Base database being accessed by many users. The user who was editing the table (actually two tables, header and details) has exited R:Base, but the table lock is persisting. The other users are DOS users and their code never even looks at the table in question. I need to run an alter command against the table in question to add a column, but obviously the alter command fails because the table appears to be locked. -- Larry
