>I believe it is something more internal to VFP because this all started when I copied a backup of the form into the project. Since I did not have the same problems with the older one, I copied it back into the project, but yet I still get the same errors with that code with the same thing, but didn't before. Is there some hidden vfp file that keeps track of what form names are ties into what filenames or something? If it worked before and I copy the same exact files back in and it does not work now, something changed.

I think you better use correct approach and not try to stick with the approach that somehow used to work because it was not right anyway.
