Fred-

I just tried one table.

I copied the table that was created in VFP 6.0 to a DataTest folder.
In the command window I typed

CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL
CREATE DATABASE Test
ADD TABLE WsCans
The error still occured.
The problem with the code below is that I would be creating the tables in VFP 9.0 not in VFP 6.0.

If you don't mind I can email you the three files for this one table.
Then we can verify the error on your side.
