Sometimes, in the heat of battle, these locks don't get released properly, especially when a user crashes out of a DataEase application. This application provides two functions. 1. It runs a Net Files command to a text file and imports that file into a table for display. 2. It provides a facility to delete the offending users locks. Please read the screen notes on the applicable screens. Wholesale deleting locks can cause damage to important data. Use the facility to determine which users are creating havoc with your DataEase applications. You'll sometimes notice a user that has a high number of locks on the DataEase LAN files.
