Ken,

I don't know the why it's happening, probably something related to the read-only status of a table inside the exe. Maybe you can shift and use either a cursor or view of the table.

It took me half the stinkin' day to find this since I wasn't getting the error in VFP (where the table is just a dbf file) but kept getting it in the EXE where it is included. This is a real "gotcha "- or at least, a real "gotme" :-) would love to hear more on this if anyone knows TIA-Ken
