In the VFP9 help, emphasis mine. (don't have VFP8 installed anywhere to what it says): Remarks
ISRLOCKED( ) returns a logical true (.T.) if the record is locked by the current application; otherwise a logical false (.F.) is returned. Note ISRLOCKED( ) only returns .T. in the data session that applied the record lock. Unless you read between the lines, it's still not obvious that it's only returning YOUR lock status, not the file's.
