 HH> I am having a problem with dBase IV under a DOS
 HH> session of OS/2 (Warp connect).  It has to do with
 HH> index files (*.MDX).  The simplest form of the error
 HH> is this:
 HH> go to the dot prompt
 HH> use 
 HH> index on  tag 
 HH> I get an error message saying "File already open" and
 HH> I am not able to create the index tag.  The only
 HH> problem is that once in a while I am able to create
 HH> the tag but I can't seem to find any logic to it.
 HH> Also, this error occurs with files which already have
 HH> an associated MDX file and with files which don't so
 HH> that's not the problem. Any ideas?  Any solutions?
You might try this...
 go to the dot prompt
 use 
 SET EXCLUSIVE ON
 index on  tag 
 SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
 HH> Is this a dbase/OS2 compatibility problem?
I don't think so.  I've been running it under Warp 3.0 for
a long time.
