>What I believe Jim is refering to, and you may be overlooking, is even after you add a table to your project, it will have what looks like the head of a flathead screw next to it, a circle w/ a line through it. If it has this, you'll need to do what Jim said to select to include the .dbf in your executable rather than excluding it. This is step two after already having physically added it to your project.
