I am sure you know this (but just in case you don't)
Instead of adding one extra line with several more characters to type you can write:

USE (FileName) IN 0 ALIAS MyFile

Which is equivalent to:

sele 0
USE (FileName) ALIAS MyFile

Einar


>Number one error, is to specify a work are by number!

>FileName = GETFILE('DBF')
>SELECT 0 && Selects the first available work area
>USE (FileName) ALIAS MyFile

>This may not be causing the error, but hardcoding a work area by number is risky!
