Would need more information to diagnose this definitively, but here's one
possibility: the first instance accesses the data in Exclusive mode,
therefore all subsequent instances fail when they attempt to access the
data. This explanation is consistent with your observation that the program
runs fine in Foxpro itself (I assume you mean under the development
product), assuming that no other instance is running at the same time.
Do you have source code?
