>I think both things were happening - I may have had a corrupt table and I could not have an unattended program prompt for a code page. So SET CPDIALOG OFF should solve that problem. I don't know anymore about the corrupt table because I was sent a new one. Why is it that a table with DBF/FPT extensions cannot be sent as attachments to email and arrive with no corruption?

Some e-mail programs, or servers, might suspect a virus. The safest thing is often, to enclose the files within a ZIP or RAR archive.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
