The information in this article applies to:
When you open several work areas in FoxPro for Windows, a "File Access Denied" error may occur. This error occurs with Microsoft Windows version 3.1, not with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups. If SHARE is loaded without any parameters, the number of databases that can be opened in the work areas in FoxPro for Windows is limited. If SHARE is not loaded, opening multiple databases proceeds as normal.
By default, the SHARE /F parameter, which is the number of bytes allocated for the MS-DOS storage area used to record file-sharing information, defaults to 2048. The /L parameter, which sets the number of files that can be locked at one time, defaults to 20.
If you must have SHARE loaded, add the /F:5120 and /L:500 parameters to the SHARE line. This will permit you to open more databases in work areas.
