Locking error on import

Problem

In the import phase of synchronizing, I get:

(EX) The database engine could not lock table <name> because it is
already in use by another person or process.

Solution

This occurs because you have an object (Form, Report, Table, etc.) open while synchronizing, and this object is locked, preventing OnWeb from properly importing changes into it.

You can:

  1. Close all objects, and try to synchronize again.

  2. If the problem exists, close your database and reopen it, holding down the key on your keyboard while opening it.

  3. Synchronize.

Please note:

We are working on automatically saving and closing open objects when the EQL Synchronize button is pressed. You can monitor the progress of our work here.
