Sergey,

I have no spaces in the path. In fact, if I set m.lcIDXName = "c:\_Temp" it still causes the error.

Interestingly enough, if I use use SET INDEX TO... I can set the fullpath to the IDX file and not cause the error. The bad news is that my grid does not switch it's ascending/descending order when I SET ORDER TO...

So to make this work for me, I need to set m.lcIDXName = "somevalidfilename" and not include the path. I've tried the other commands like SET INDEX TO... then SET ORDER TO... and they all generate the same error if I specify the fullpath to the idx file. Weird.

Mike
