Here's a guess you might try: Get out of MapInfo and on the disk
where your table is, get rid of the temporary files for that
table (*.TIN, *.TDA, *.T?? (except don't erase *.TAB!) etc.). I
think these are the "flags" that tell one copy of MapInfo that
another user has edited the table and not yet saved the edits.
There may be a key in the *.map header that serves as a lock that
will need to be reset, but I don't know for sure (I know two
people here who might know that though!)
