>I ran into a problem today when I needed to add a new file to an existing database container. Under my development environment with a copy of the live database container I added a new file and report. When I tried to add that file from my development environments database container to the live system's container the foxpro environment errored and told me the file is already a part of an existing container being my development environment's container.

If I understand you correctly, you first need to remove the table from the development database before you can move it to another database. You will lose any long field names, etc because the table becomes a free table. You could make a copy of the table and copy the records from the development table to the other database.

HTH,
