>If AutoOpenTable is .F., your tables are not open automatically. So, you have to do some programing to open them, isn't it? I don't understand how you want to modify the order the tables are open automatically if your AutoOpenTable=.F.

I use AutoOpenTables to .F. to be able to adjust the path of the DBC and the free tables I am gonna use. This is all done by the baseform reading the values from TABLE.DBF.

However, I do have a need to be able to change the order without having to remove and add the table again in the DE.
