Hello all,

I have an R:base command file that runs automatically every hour (many
thanks to Ian Stone for his utility).  This command file downloads data via
ODBC to a table and then performs some R:Base wizardry for about 5 minutes.
 The problem is - i have users who access this table to print a report,
sometimes unknowingly while this command  file is running.  Obvoiusly, when
the command file is running the data is changing frequently.  i would like
to prohibit access to this table while the command file is running.  tried
"SET LOCK tablename ON" but other users still can print report.  I guess
this just means it locks out writes to the table.  Is there a command I'm
missing  to  temporarily suspend read of the table?  There are no passwords
on this database.

Thanks
