>I've copied a database (.dbc) to another PC using a IOMEGA ZIP 100MB. But when I run the application some field's name are shorter. Why is this? Is this a media problem or just another VFP5 bug?

Emmanuel,

Did you also copy the dct and dcx files as well as the dbc file?

Truncated field names are usually indicative of a table having been freed from the dbc. The long field names are in the dbc and not in the dbf so they are lost if the table is freed from the dbc.
