SYMPTOMS
When the GATHER FROM <array> FIELDS command specifies fields that are not
in the target table, it examines the source table from which the fields
were scattered. If that source table is shared by another user and that
table's current record is locked, Visual FoxPro displays the following
legend on the status bar:
Attempting to lock...Press ESC to cancel.
When the user presses ESC, a message box appears explaining "Record is in
use by another user."
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in
Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.
In Visual FoxPro 5.0, the message "Variable 'FLD2' is not found" appears
rather than the locking message.
