I think some of the problem may be related to something I noticed in
FoxBase+ Multiuser.  Are you running these databases on a network 
volume of some type?  FoxBase+ would lock up when I tried to do file/
record locking via DesqView on a *local* drive, but when I threw them
up on our Novell server, it worked fine.  Anyone care to comment on this?

=By the way, when switching windows, DesqView is
=swapping because of lack of memory.  Could this have anything to
=do with it?

Dunno - Haven't tried it with FoxPro runtime - have it here, though...
maybe I'll try it...
