You can start with SCREEN=OFF, and then bring up an appropriate form.

Also, how do you call a use like the following:
>

>sTable = MyFoxTable.dbf
>USE sTable
>

>

sTable = 'MyFoxTable.DBF'
USE (sTable)

You can specify a full path in the file name string, and the extension doesn't have to be .DBF.
