Hey John.

>On the laptop running Windows 98, and error arises when a form displays that states a table is not marked as being part of the database.

Although VFP is supposed to use relative paths when it stores the path to the DBC in the DBF header and the path to the DBF in the DBC record for that table, I've seen rare instances where an absolute path was stored instead. As a result, even if everything is kept in the same relative locations to each other, this error will result if you have so much as different drive letters.

The quick way to find out is to use DBGETPROP('table name', 'Table', 'Path') to see what the DBC has for the table path, and use a hex editor (even the old DOS DEBUG.COM) to see what's stored in the DBC backlink area of the DBF header. If you find a difference, you can use the DBC mover utility Andy Neil wrote a few years back to fix this problem.
