Locked record

[Nancy Palmquist]

You can also look at the Manage Screen and look at the Shared Folders .. 
Open Files.  In windows, it lists open files.  I have seen instances 
where the file reports locked and no one has any filepro file open.  
Usually due to some corruption, and a reboot is the only way.
