>Hello again, I deleted foxuser.dbf and foxuser.fpt and it did not work. FPT still disappears. Yes, I have antivirus (customized by Siemens, ugh! we were just migrated to new laptops, systems and network). Found a way to exclude VFP table files in the virus scan. THANKS!

If it doesn't fix your problem, at least it should speed up you access to VFP tables. As a matter of fact, VFP tables should be excluded from the virus scan for all users to prevent slowdowns.
