If a DB or table is not in the specified PATH (or more usually, the PATH is bad) VFP must have some way to trap the resulting message before it appears. I checked error codes 1105,1554,1736 but as I mentioned previously, my ERROR HANDLER procedure is not being invoked at all. VFP must consider this more of a notification than an error.

I will look into that. Currently I have a form class that has an ON ERROR DO PROG_ERROR_HANDLER... in the INIT. I had not considered the obvious option on the ON ERROR event.

Thanx.
