Hi Paul.

>Is there anyway to programmatically create a backlink from a table to a database?

Yes, but you need to roll up your sleeves and get dirty <g>. You need to open the table using FOPEN, FSEEK to the DBC backlink area, and FWRITE the relative path to the DBC. The VFP help file has the information you'll need to do this on the file structure.
