Parameters

lNewArea

Type: Logic
Specifies whether the file is to be opened in a new work area. TRUE selects the lowest numbered unoccupied work area as the current work area before the use operation. FALSE uses the current work area (if the work area is occupied, it is closed first).

rddName

Type: String
Name of the RDD to use.

cDataFile

Type: String
The name of the database file to open, including an optional drive, directory, and extension.
If the database file has a corresponding memo file, it is also opened.
The default extension for database and memo files is determined by the RDD. See SetDefault() and SetPath() for file searching and creation rules.

cAlias

Type: String
An identifier name to associate with the work area when cDataFile is opened. Duplicate alias names are not allowed within a single application.

lShared

Type: Logic
TRUE Attempts to open cDataFile for shared use. FALSE attempts to open xcDataFile for exclusive (non-shared) use, denying all other processes access until the database file is closed.

lReadOnly

Type: Logic
TRUE attempts to open cDataFile with a read-only attribute, prohibiting updates to the work area. FALSE attempts to open cDataFile with a read-write attribute, allowing updates.
