>I have written a DLL that accesses a VFP database and returns information based on those tables. If I include the database and tables in the project it works fine. However, because it is included in the project it does not have access to the active tables and therefore does not reflect changes to the data. What is the best way to address these tables from a DLL so that I can return data from the active tables?

Exclude:) Also qualify table locations. ie: instead of just saying:

use employee

do it like:

use ("c:\My Path\employee")
