Hi Tore,

whether or not the table is used during compile time shouldn't matter. The error occurs when I am saving the method code. However, I am sure the table (in this case it is a cursor) is open at runtime and I still get the error.

>Are you sure that mytable is USEd? And note that you can also get an error if someone else use mytable, since ALL instructs VFP to lock the header.
