I have looked at the file.
It's DBF type is dBase IV (thats why the Memo file is *.DBT, not *.FPT). DBF Commander supports dBase IV format, but the problem is the Visual FoxPro driver not accepts dBase IV's Memo - it supports Visual FoxPro and dBase III plus Memos only. On opening the file, the driver tries to convert this DBF and Memo to acceptable format (VFP 2.x or earlier), but cannot do this. So, the error "exclusive access' occurs.
We'll think over this situation, and will try to find the way out. Maybe do something like convert dBase IV to dBase III plus (or better VFP) while opening in order you could work with the files in DBF Commander.
And for now, you can try to do the following:
1. Unload the data from Lotus Approach to another DBF format: Visual FoxPro or dBase III plus (if possible).
2. Do not use Memo-type fields: split long-text information to several Char(254) fields, or store it in other table, or smth like this.
Feel free to ask a question - I'll try to help in anyway!
