Call LockTable to lock a Paradox or dBASE table to prevent other applications from placing a particular type of lock on the table. LockType specifies the lock requested by this application. 

Requesting a read lock prevents other applications from reading a table. Requesting a write lock prevents other application from writing to a table. 

An application can request both types of lock by calling LockTable twice, once for each lock type.
