>There is one particular business object (MonthlyChecksList_bo), however, that just refuses to work. Whenever the object is created, I get vfp's open dialog and I'm asked for a dbf. This happens in the business object's dataenvironment's OpenTables (MonthlyChecksList_bo.MonthlyChecksList_de.OpenTables()) method. In the line that reads "This.oDataEnvironment.OpenTables()".

I'm gonna presume you meant DataEnvironment in there too?

>Does anyone have any idea of where and what I should be looking for? I'm very close to just hard-coding my "use" statements and foregoing the framework entirely to get to the data in this case.

Since it works standalone, I have to presume the problem is somewhere in the form. What other BOs are open, does one of them have the same view, or a child table that Checks_BO needs, that it may be closing? Are you sure of the tablename it's looking for - if you select an appropriate view/table from the prompt, (where) does it break later?

I really wish OpenTables() would let us identify the tables as it works... I put ALIAS() in the watch window, and having the data session window open might tell you (by process of elimination) what's open and what isn't.
