Now we're getting somewhere, Lincoln!

Do the users have VFP installed on their machines?
Did you build an EXE of the program and is that what the users are executing?
Are the users accessing a 'common' EXE or a separate one on each of their machines?
Do the users have proper SHARE access rights to the volume where the stuff is?
Are the databases and/or tables IN the project or excluded from the project?

These are most of the questions which come to mind.
I have not had that error before, but I'm sure someone else here has, and that you may get the answer soon. But you might want to try a new message with that error message as major part of the title (since it isn't really "trouble with views", is it???

Let's hope you hear soon. I'm betting on something simple.

good luck,
Jim N

>Okay, here's the set up. I'm running an NT4.0 Server with NT and 95 clients (although only the 95 clients are currently accessing the database). Their access to the database is through a shortcut to a shared file on the server from their desktops rather than through a mapped drive (only for the experimenting [i.e. testing] phase. When the database entry form is accessed by one user any other user trying to access the form gets the following error message: "Error loading file... record number 64 Formset 1 .Parent: File access is denied."
