Sergey,
in my program there is a view with an alias of V_NMC. it is sometimes used and other times i used the file directly through the alias, not the most ideal situation i know but it was a project i took over and hacked a fair bit over the past few years to get it working as the customer needed. the other table, NMC2, is exactly the same and even has a view but I never use that, or at least i don't think that i do. I presume that if is USE table1 i don't use the view if there is one, and even if i did use the view i would presume that it would be unused when i issued the USE command.

>>I have a problem. what i am trying to do is simple enough, I have 2 call systems, both held in seperate folders but build on the same framework, they use tables of the same name, but in different folders, etc. I need to pass details from one to the other, befor ei was creating a dbf with 1 line and saving it into a sub folder. then a timer in the other program would import it, only problem here was that it the users was doing something in the second call system this would cause an error. So what i decided to do was this
>>

>>mlocation = ALLTRIM(TBD_valx3) + "zfnwc"    && Getting the file location
>>SELECT 0
>>USE &mlocation ALIAS 'NWC2'
>>SELECT NWC2
>>SEEK lclcalnum ORDER CMA_calnum
>>IF FOUND()
>>	* should not happen - do nothing, as call already there
>>ELSE
>>	* add in the details to the limited system
>>	SELECT NWC
>>	SCATTER MEMO MEMVAR	
>>	
>>	SELECT NWC2
>>	APPEND BLANK
>>	GATHER MEMVAR MEMO
>>	....   && have a few replace field1 with " " lines in here
>>	SELECT NWC2
>>	USE

>>this works but on the save of the form there is a requery that is necessary and it gives me this error.
>>1542/Base table fields have been changed and no longer match view
>>Now these tables in both folders are fine but this error always comes up. any ideas?
