Re: problem trying to run a Visual Foxpro app

Record and file locking are not implemented, so you can't as of now use it 
in production in a multiuser environment with native VFP tables.

Now, if you move your data to a backend server (MySQL comes to mind), you no 
longer care about the file/record locking issues and I believe VFP is 
totally viable in Wine in this case.

Are you using any thirdparty controls that may be causing the exception?  Do 
you want me to test your app here to see if I can reproduce?
